You should read the thread on "Recent Recall of Windows Updates"
& the associated problem. It does point out explicitly that not
all ms updates are better than no updates.

An open mind is needed as ms definitely cannot provide *perfect*
code/software; if ms did perfect work, updates/service-packs
wouldn't have been needed.
