Recently we had an issue with Pro Engineer, where a bug caused problems when viewing a drawing created in a newer datacode (WF4 M160) on an older datacode (WF4 M130). The political decision was made to always install the latest hardware drivers and updates for all computers in one department of the company. I'm not so sure I agree, but I am unable to persuade upper management that it can cause a problem.
See, I've always been under the impression that a user/admin should only install updates if those updates contain something the user/admin needs. For instance, MS OS updates include needed security fixes to stop hackers so they should be run when possible. But what do you all think about software that doesn't require security updates? Should we go by the general rule, if it's not broken don't fix it? Or should we always install the latest updates available?
Thanks
