Why does update.windows.com try and fetch tracking cookies from
webtrends.com, which is in my "Restricted websites" list?

Interesting. Just visited WindowsUpdate with IE and no cookie from
WebTrends appeared. Just one from MS.

Well I just checked again and there were 8 blocked cookies from
m.webtrends.com.

Do you have *.webtrends.com in your Restricted list? (I do.)

Now that you mention it, webtrendslive.com is blocked from serving
cookies in the Sites list for the cookie blocker included in IE 6 SP2.
Forget how I set that list up ... maybe it's from a custom block list
via Spyware Blaster ?
FWIW, there is never a prompt to deny the cookie via that method
