I don't know if I'm not as adventurous as others on this thread, but I've never once had any problem with Windows Update on any version of Windows. All maintenance gets applied when it becomes available/recommended, and my system(s) continue to run, sweet as a nut.
Also, I've never once been hit by a virus, nor had my system accessed (hacked?) by external influences. The only failures I've had to contend with have been hardware problems, that normally result in replaced said device(s) - basically because there's not much an end user can do with knackered hardware. Is it just me/ Or am I a member of a vast, silent majority?
