Windows XP Pro has the automatic update service enabled by default and that is a BAD idea. I want to know what patches are going to be installed before they reach my production servers. For one thing I don't want to install things that don't apply to my system. For another patches are not always tested sufficiently (NT4 SP2 anyone?) I would prefer that Microsoft leave this function out of the default install and opt for "inform me when a patch is available" mode instead. They can even make it red and flashy and say "critical" but don't install it for me.
