Microsoft Update speed vs. Windows Update

Why does Microsoft Update take so much longer to run then Windows update?
I know it includes Office, but that's only one extra package. On my system
it takes nearly 5 minutes for Microsoft Update to complete vs. less then a
minute for Windows Update.

Thanks.

Each server has a different speed capicity and /or load balance.


Best regards

In addition, Office is not just one program... Word, Outlook, Excel...
