Hi, For me, I will only patch those that consider critical patches and highly recommended patch. for example those patches for driver that I don't even have the hardware I won't bother to install. 40 patches to install? I think I would rather go upgrade my OS.

Sinardy , i apply the patches one after another . and i can't backup all complete system every time i patch it (b'coz of disk space constraint) except for big patches like CU2,HR Family Pack etc . anyway i try it on test instance first. How do u people go about patching , in case of a rapid install ? what is the order u follow ?
