Don't blame Microsoft. They gave you the patch; it's your responsibility to use it.

Responsibility? 2002-04-16

While it might be your responsibility to apply the patches (hell, I'm still getting Code Red/Nimda scans on my home Apache server), it's Microsoft's responsibility to ensure the patches don't break the servers.

However, the network admins in the story should at least be testing the patch to see if it can be safely applied in their environment. They should also have some form of fallback in case their testing doesn't reveal any issues that do occur on their live systems.
