MBSA 1.2 detects a patches for number of categories of software
that are not covered by the current version of Sus.
If you are seeing differences in detection for the same patch, that
is an issue with differences in their detection clients and the info
that they use.
For example, if you use a cmd prompt and cd to MBSA's install dir
and then issue
mbsacli -hf -v
and
mbsacli -sus -hf -v
you will likely see quite a difference in the scan info.
Where MBSA is showing things not listed by Windows Update,
these should be applied (ex. MSXML, SQL/MDSE)
Where they differ in detection info for the same patch you
should verify which one is right, if nothing else by reapplying
the patch so you know you have it on the macine.
