Who's Knocking?

"The operating system ran on 48 percent of business PCs during
the first quarter of 2005..." The other 42 percent were unable to
answer the door as they were busy applying patches that caused
more problems than they fixed.

Yikes! Thank God for small fruit.

What are you talking about?

I run a small network ( <100 machines) and I have had no problems with Windows patches on the client side (a few quarks on servers, but quickly resolved). I would like to think that those of us who were unaffected today were most likely in the same boat as I was; patched, working in the background, seeing if we could help others. Too bad the 'critics' can do nothing but sit back on their butts and spout BS and FUD.
