No, and not just because we don't use it.
All updates, of whatever kind, are tested before deployment to either desktops or servers.

Given that the duff update removes essential Windoze operating files, any affected PCs will be useless unless you have a decent IT dept who can fix it, or for many small users this will mean re-installing the OS.
Given that many PCs only contain the pre-installed software and no backup CD, I can see big sales of Win 7 and many disgruntled consumers.
TF I don't use McAfee.
