Glad to hear it went okay for you.

The article didn't give much detail on how common the problems they claimed might be, although it seemed it might be a minority.

Some people who complain about past Windows updates claim they've made a habit of making a new restore point (backup configuration) immediately before actually installing a major update, although some of us doubt they actually do it as often as they claim.

A couple of things said to be made better with the Mac patch do relate to stuff that's been in pretty active circulation recently, which would suggest the patches could be fairly important; but I haven't seen a breakdown on how often those particular kinds of exploits have been affecting Macs.
