But that classification does have the effect of EXCLUDING it from the Windows Update critical Updates list. At least I didn't see it come up an hour ago when I tried.

That's not so good, because now I am wondering HOW MANY OTHER "non-critical" security problems are out there that I know nothing about?!?!
