New updates to any application or component are meant to improve and fix the bugs present in it. Downloading new updates ensures that you system is up-to-update, has fixes to all those bugs you have been getting annoyed with and more stable.

Unfortunately not every IT department thinks that, especially the one I am facing at work. According to them, the new updates should only be applied IF and only IF they offer some new functionality (duhh!). Hello! what happened to the bug-fixes that are promised with these updates?

Anyway, my Linux box tells me that I have the following updates available but some nut-head thinks its a waste of precious bandwidth

Here is my question, would you update your operating system on a regular basis or would you prefer not to? and WHY?
