Windows XP updates, good or bad?

[_Al_]

I work for a small business and I informally work their network for them.

The guys who installed the computer system (before my time here) have recommended we don't install any updates on the grounds that 'some may be dodgy'.


Sounds a bit iffy to me. Tiny IT consultancy recommending you don't do what Microsoft say is good for you...


Any input for you guys/gals?

Good advice rlk, but my job isn't actually IT based at all, so I don't understand most of the lingo and I don't want to spend too much time monitoring them...

Actually I've already installed them. Nothing *YET* has gone wrong.
