False, it's a high priority update, not critical at all. Why is it High
Priority? It's designed to push you towards Vista, of course.

It is indeed issued as a 'Critical Update' and for those of us in the UK
that means that Internet Banking is only guaranteed by UK banks if it IS
installed !
I have had no problems that could not be resolved by simple adjustments and
feel that all this fuss is completely over the top.

I could care less if you think my personal views are credible or not

Well, you do care, or:
1. You wouldn't have wasted your time posting and
2. you wouldn't have responded to the post as you did.

Liars are short lived memories. Non-liars are appreciated and remembered
long term.

Lol..if you didn't care why did you reply? Can't say anything about you

If you add an IE extension to Firefox, you can even use FF for Windows
Updates. The two banks I use in Spain work just fine with FF.

When I went to Windows Update, it said "high priority update". Maybe you
should call your banks and suggest that they whisper into the ears of
their web masters and tell them that not all their customers use Windows
or IE7.
