Intrepeting the SCCM 2007 "Update List"

[bc8234-Bill]

Question 1) Is there a white-paper explaining all there is to know about the
“Software Update Compliance Status Summary†and how to best interpret / use
its results?

My role requires me to intrepet SCCM 2007 security patching data output. I
am not an SCCM User. I have a number of questions about the Update List
output (I'm also told this report is called a “Software Update Compliance
Status Summary†. This page
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680652.aspx provides the initial
basis of my understanding of the SCCM Update List.
