Why would you not patch your systems? That's irresponsible.

All my servers and workstations stay patched. You should do the same.

The world of servers is a bit different from the world of PCs. If you are behind a reliable firewall you patch only if your application will benefit from it. Lots of servers run only one application.

You misunderstood. Just because a patch is issued doesn't mean that people are going to patch their machines immediately. Many people will remain vulnerable because either they're ignorant, don't care, or deliberately avoid patching.
