You're an idiot.
So you didn't put in the patches LOL!



An idiot that applies patch "every Tuesday" is just as retarded as one
that runs "defrag" more than once or twice a year when they have no apps
that cause severe fragmentation, like a database app or such.

I don't think databases are common causes of fragmentation - serious databases often do their own file handling at a lower level precisely to avoid that sort of thing.

But other than that, I agree - blindly patching windows is not a good idea, and defragmenting does not last long enough to make it worth the effort - it's more effective to invest in more RAM so your file caches are bigger.
