Great article. I just have one comment about "the prevailing wisdom that its always best to be running the latest and greatest software release". With my software developer hat on, this is absolutely true, I want my users to use the latest and don't want to chase bugs that have been fixed weeks or months earlier. However, with my user hat on, I do not want the latest bugs, regressions, changed functionality, etc. If it works, I don't want to upgrade at all.
