What's everyones patch philosophy?

I generally find that we like to apply all patches, just
in case something gets through the firewall or there's a
configuration that's not correct somewhere.

After all, code red got through on one server (not "owned"
by us) and eventually spread everywhere it could, except
our servers since we were patched all up.
