updating windows vista
I have generally ignored the "update available" notices for quite some time. I looked the other day and the list is quite long.
Should I be installing these and are there specific ones that are more needed than others.

2. I only install
the updates that are rated important or critical....if you have a question about a specific update, just do a search to see if it's causing any problems.

Was wondering if you would ignore recalls as well.

6. My rukle of thumb ( as a Windows System Administrator)
Install everything except for optional hardware and "live" updates.

Most of the fixes are for security vulnerabilities. If you don't install them, you are open for attack.
