The easiest way is to use Preware and download/install the Emergency Recovery Patch, which, when installed, removes all patches and restores the device to its pre-patched state. If you write down the list of patches you had before, you can easily go back and install them and then restart the phone (or use Luna Manager to restart just the UI) and be back where you were before the update.
No, it's not worse than Microsoft. Patches are not authorized nor validated by Palm, so they don't make any promises about update compatibility. If you go patch-free, then OS updates are 100% painless and fast. So, it's up to you: plain + easy OR personalized + complicated (slightly) Maybe one day we'll have easy + personalized, but not yet.
