I consider it bad when an automatically installed update (that the PC owner might not even know had been installed) suddenly trashes the system. BTDT for myself and numerous clients before I wised up and turned off auto updates for everything (automatic update checking, not so bad, but automatic updating, no way). I know that "somebody" needs to be the guinea pig, but I prefer not to play that part (I will wait for multiple other people to try it before I try it).
