From Phil Liu Microsoft ( I'm still waiting for his reponse to my query on
the thread  as to how wga is 'designed' to aid a computer user security or
performance wise - I expect some marketing gobbedlygook )

There are different classifications for "High Priority Updates"
and "Critical Security Updates".

This update is classified as high priority because it is *designed* to help
protect the computer against security threats and performance (thus fitting
the definition of a high-priority update).

We have (and still continue to) discuss the issue regarding classification
of the update between High and Critical, but as the update sits, it has not
yet been raised to the bar of a Critical Update.
