Microsoft Windows and Office Update Terminology
With respect to updates Microsoft used to use the terms "Critical", "Important", "Recommended", "Optional".
I have noticed that the terminology now appears to be restricted to only two terms - "Important" and "Optional". Does this mean that "Critical" is included in "Important" and "Recommended" is included in "Optional"...?
It is irritating to note that a Search of Microsoft for clarification of update terminology only makes things less clear. The Microsoft document that describes update terminology does not even mention the terms "Important", "Recommended" or "Optional". The article can be viewed here: -
