A Word to the Wise: Hot fixes are not foolproof, nor have they undergone extensive testing in the field. Unless you are experiencing one or more of the symptoms described in a hot fix update, do not blindly install a hot fix just to keep up to date. Always make a backup before installing a hot fix and heed the following warning from Microsoft Dynamics regarding all hot fixes.

"WARNING: This hotfix has not undergone full testing. Therefore, it is intended only for systems or computers that are experiencing the exact problem that is described in the one or more Microsoft Knowledge Base articles. If you are not sure whether any special compatibility or installation issues are associated with this hotfix, we encourage you to wait for the next service pack release. The service pack will include a fully tested version of this fix. We understand that it can be difficult to determine whether any compatibility or installation issues are associated with a hotfix."
