• I think that SQL Server patches are just an example of a bigger issue that Microsoft appears to be attempting to resolve in a single way for all types of Windows OS installations. I am sure that they do this but they really need to look into the whole bunch of scenarios and provide relatively simple solutions for all of them. Sure, default to update as the fixes come, however, there needs to be a better management of patches and updates between the "as they come" and the "manually applied" strategies.
