At the top of the page leading to here is a very interesting piece of information which should mean that there is very little excuse for admins to not automatically patch public servers in the near future. I for one see this as a huge benefit......

And, we will provide rollback capability for all patches, so you can roll them out and roll them back if there is an application incompatibility or something unanticipated
How many of you will reconsider auto-update when this rollback ability proves functional?

What would you say if M$ began shipping products with auto-update turned on?
