Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
In the future you may be able to obtain patches through other distribution channels, e.g. your ISP or consumer electronics chain or original equipment manufacturer. Regardless of the distribution method, geniune Microsoft patches are always cryptographically signed by Microsoft. Whether consumers can figure out how to check the signature is a different question.
