I got my OSCP in Jan, and its an excellent exam. I would say take your time with the course material, but also dont restrict yourself 100% to only whats in the material. A good security professional will think outside the box, and leverage what you find on the course, to take things to another level.
Take some time to look at the extra bits and bobs, and tackle them as you see fit.
For me the best thing about this course is the lab environment, its well setup and works well.
Enjoy and best of luck.

I have been using the VM version since its release with no issues, I think there is a good improvement of the pre. I have also just updated my 4Gb MicroVault that I use on my AspireOne for doing wireless stuff, and it works a treat. I created it using the ISO and unetbootin.

Personally I think WSUS is a good solution if your a Windows shop, however what ever works for the organisation is a good way to proceed. I agree a VM environment can provide an excellent platform for multiple testing, rollbacks, etc a breeze, however I have seen on the odd occasion hardware issues with patching, so there is sometimes value in hardware based testing, especially if you have adopted standard hardware and this isnt a huge amount of devices. Security Patching is important, however many organisations still do not treat it with the attention it deserves. Keeps us in a job though

In my opinion this really depends on the environment you are working in, the type of business you conduct and the methods used. If you can share some more information, perhaps in a generic way, you can get some more targeted responses.
Ultimately its going to come down to the risk appetite of the business, how the organisation is structured, segmentation of the infrastructure, testing capabilities and budget.
Patch management is still something that so many organisations fail to do well, but at the same time it can be very simple.
Look forward to hearing more from you.
