Microsoft tags IE 7 'high priority' update | |
|

Microsoft plans to automatically push Internet Explorer 7 to Windows XP users when the browser update is ready later this year. IE 7 will be delivered in the fourth quarter as a "high priority" update via Automatic Updates in Windows XP, Gary Schare, Microsoft's director of IE product management, said in an interview Tuesday. Automatic Updates is a Windows feature typically used for security updates, but Microsoft has also used it to push its antipiracy tool WGA Notifications. "The justification, of course, is the significant security enhancements in IE 7," Schare said. Microsoft recommends that all Windows users install the new browser when it ships, he added. | ||

| I'm surprised they didn't label it "Critical". |

#1 - Windows Update doesn't use the "Critical" label. It has "High Priority", "Software, Optional", and "Hardware, Optional".
High Priority includes all security updates, as well as non-security updates such as fixes to commonly-reported crashes, for example. What you're thinking of are security bulletins. They use critical/important/moderate/low. |
