I have been in IT since Green Screen days and NT 3.5 sucked especially when it came to patching...I used to patch 300 NT servers and it was always a gamble on how many would Blue Screen after patching...One example was I worked 72 hours straight bringing 8 NT clusters back to life after patching and I tested them before applying them in my Test environment..
“I used to patch 300 NT servers “
And that was back in the days of 64 meg of memory. You had a grasp on what was in the machine.
Imagine now with 64 gig of memory to hide malware and viruses !!
