absolutely, but what would be nice is something like 'MS update server',
which automatically downloads ALL relevant security patches and hotfixes,
scans your network and alerts you to what needs applying. a management
console should be available to allow 'drag and drop' deployment of security
patches and hotfixes across the network.

the system should also be intelligent enough to know the server applications
you are running and how this impacts which patches should be run and in what
order they should be applied.
