Seeing as how Internet Explorer is a large part of the operating system itself, a 9 times out of 10 the security fixes that come with IE also pertain to the operating system itself, it should be classed as a critical update. ANY security fix in this age is a critical fix and shouldn't be minimized as such.

So if you want to surf the net on what would amount to Swiss cheese, go for it.

I agree with your assessment in the context of the home user surfing the net, but in an enterprise environment where version sensitive web based apps serving hundreds of desktop clients are in use, forcing the software onto machines is very bad. I'm going to be running some audits and adjusting our GPOs to disallow windows update until the web developers get some testing done(I bet they didn't see this coming lol, and it will be all my fault when sh1t hits the fan). I'd like a SUS but my boss is too frugal lol.
