Windows updates has always been among the main sources of lost/corrupted data.
Heck, I've had windows upgrades where I was prompted if I wanted to save personal data, I say yes, and then it proceeds to not only erase personal data, but also remove all non-standard programs. It essentially just installed a fresh copy of Windows rather than upgrade the service pack release.
People should be backing up important data anyhow. This is nothing new since the invention of software.
