Slightly off-topic, but I'd like to add that this is the philosophy I follow for all systems for which I am responsible. Know what it is you are patching, why it needs to be patched, and what are the ramifications of either patching or leaving alone.

I am refering to Windows systems here, primarily. Even the so-called Critical Updates are not recommended for all systems, and may even cause problems if applied to a working system. However, I'd advise one to do the same for any of their systems.

Bottom line: Know what you are doing before you do it.
