Whats the difference between Microsoft updates and Windows updates?

They just renamed it when they updated the system and appearance as it usually incorporates updates for most microsoft products (office etc)

Microsoft Updates also includes all of the Microsoft products installed on the system like Office. You can have only windows update if you want as this does not check for MS products.

microsoft is a brand and windows is an operating system

Answer given by microsoft is:

Microsoft Update is a service that helps you keep Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and other programs current.
•It supports Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 SP3 or later, and Windows Server 2003.
•It provides updates for Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Office XP, Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Exchange Server.
Windows Update is a service that helps you keep Microsoft Windows current. It supports Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 SP3 or later, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 SP2 or earlier, Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 current.
Automatic Updating is a feature that automatically delivers the latest high-priority updates to your computer for both Microsoft Update and Windows Update.
