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.

Patch Tuesday is Microsoft's practice of accumulating a bunch of
patches and releasing them on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

I certainly don't update that often. I like to let the patches mellow
for a month or so, because Microsoft's patches are so stupid they
often break more than they fix.

"The second problem affected large deployments of Windows, such as can
be found at large companies. Such large deployments found it
increasingly difficult to make sure all systems across the company
were all up to date. The problem was made worse by the fact that,
occasionally, a patch issued by Microsoft would break existing
functionality, and would have to be uninstalled."

Damn, you actually *don't* know much about this stuff.
