Just my 2 cents again - I distinctly remember March 28 2002 XP and 2000 update stuffing many systems around the world. 
I also remember the 811493 patch slowdown and eventual reissue by MS.

Automation of update patches? Not on your Nellie! I would have a machine download patches and try installs on it before 
I felt comfortable about passing them on to others.
