IPS for vuln mitigation during patching

Dana has pointed to a notification on WindowsITPro about some Windows vulnerabilities. Like Dana I am interested to see that it contains the line:

Administrators can help protect their networks by ensuring that their intrusion prevention systems are update to date.

It is nice to see that this is becoming more mainstream. I mentioned it a few weeks ago on the patch management mailing list and the response seemed to be that an IPS requires too much time to learn and set-up for the average overworked administrator.
