That's what we do and it works very well. We do the same for common antivirus update sites too. :-)

Just a thought on WindowsUpdate via squid though, it's very very slow through squid. Seems to take
many minutes to check for updates, but when bypassing the proxy this is not the case. I wonder if
this is normal for squid?
