Re: Who can come up with the real reason for this change?

WSUS is the update *server*, and doesn't install patches, it just provides the approved one for download. WUA is the update *agent/client* (the name was changed, although internally is still called WUA), running on the client, which contacts the configured update server, download required patches and install them.
