Additionally, different people have different ... 
Get off XP or Risk your Business?One of the highest hit rates I ever had on my blog was one I wrote right before Conficker broke out. I called it Playing Russian Roulette with your Network. The background was, that we released an out of band security update and our customers came back and asked us, whether they really shall deploy it – this situation then led to Conficker.
