Ooops, I appear to have opened a can of worms here. I actually expected to be in the minority with my views, but it seems that, for once, I'm in the majority. I doubt it'll happen again.
One point about the security updates, is that hackers don't actually spend ages trying to find flaws in Windows or IE. What they do, is wait for a security update to be released, find what the loophole the patch has fixed, and then work out how to exploit the loophole. If everybody installed the security patches straight away, then the hackers would have a much harder job.
If you believe what Microsoft said a couple of weeks ago, there has been no recorded case of hackers exploiting a loophole before the security patch has been released.
