There is a reason no one installs Windows patches on day 1.

I love how they earned this reputation, so rather than repair that reputation, the next move was to force update their users whether they like it or not.

I remember working in environments where management had decreed that we would not install updates ever. . .

That's...definitely a decision that puts a lot of trust in Microsoft's security. Lol

Windows Update: Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

It was a very different time. Security was still something that happened mostly at the network perimeter, and even then not much. Routers without firewalls were very common and things like SQLSlammer were much more possible.
