To the first poster:
How critical??
According to the article:
Was the word "CRITICAL" originating from ZDNET news or from Microsoft itself and simply relayed by ZDNET?The company said it will have two high-priority Windows upgrades that are not related to security issues that will be made available via its automatic Windows Update service.
Is calling a patch "CRITICAL" becoming like the boy who cried "Wolf!!"??
Is it becoming a ruse to get you to come and download??
I wonder??
If there is a currently active exploit against, or a serious programming flaw or maybe a hole the size of Grand Canyon, I'd expect the word "CRITICAL" to be flashing.
Anymore, I'm left wondering.
Any of my peers have thoughts about this??
(I'm not asking about Microsoft's official posted definitions on this, rather are we or others using the word "Critical" too much. How much too much?)
