As usual and as I have tried to point out before in the BB as well as in the pages of NNT, it serves you well to not just automatically download everything Microsoft throws your way, but instead read first to see if you actually need (or want) the update.
An perfect example is contained in this week's 14 updates. One 7.9MB update listed as KB2970228 is simply to install the sign for the new Russian ruble on your computer. Now maybe some of you do a lot of writing or trading with Russia and need the mark for the new ruble, but for most of us I think we would rather keep the 7.9MB on our hard drive.
I would also encourage everyone to wait a day or two before installing any updates to see if problems develop with any particular update/patch (as usually happens) as they get installed by millions of users.
