John,

It is good that you have it set up to ask before install.  I subscribe
to several newsletters that have issued warnings about botched updates
from M$ that they recommend one should not install unless one suffers
from a particular problem.  Unfortunately, M$ is not known for
thoroughly testing their patches before releasing them to the public.
So more than one patch has been issued to repair problems created by
prior patches.

Windows has a little client program that sits in the toolbar, loaded
when windows loads.  It checks for updates automatically and offers a
choice of "install automatically", "Ask before install", and "jump off a
bridge".  It works very well.  I have all my systems set up to download
and then ask before install.  Not sure why I do that as I always just
install them anyway.

At any rate, my computers are always up to date.
