This might even be a good thing if it means that, finally, people are regularly patching their OSs. Despite being a regular whipping boy for the security community, Microsoft has done some excellent work in patch management over recent years.
New installations of Windows will nag you if you don't enable automatic updates, while free Windows Server Update Services provide corporate users with centralised management and reporting. There's also the Microsoft Baseline Security Advisor, another free tool that checks for missing patches and common configuration problems. It's a great improvement from the days when I had to maintain my own list of applicable hotfixes.
