My company follows all of the mandatory MS patches, which come out a
little over one a month and push them down to desktops and servers.

My experience with Macs in corporate world was with power-users (all
engineers) who did our own patching.  An administrator would notify us
of patches and we'd let him know when we were done.  Might not work in
windows world, or with newby/novice users, but that worked well for us. 

Of course, most of us must self-administer our home computers.

Thank you,

Mark Snyder

I can't speak for what your company does, but for my XP systems, I patch
once per month for MS patches and then on an as needed basis for 3rd
party app patches.  Beyond that, I don't need to do much at all.

The nice thing is that I can do all this centrally, whereas with my Macs
I have to visit every machine individually to patch it.  That's about
10x as much time per machine for me.
