[Observation stolen from nanog.]

   Windows Update uses ActiveX Controls and active scripting to display
   content correctly and to determine which updates apply to your computer.

   To view and download updates for your computer, your Internet Explorer
   security settings must meet the following requirements:
     * Security must be set to medium or lower
     * Active scripting must be set to enabled
     * The download and initialization of ActiveX Controls must be set to
       enabled

What the hell are you people thinking?!
