I keep getting offered to download and install "Update for Background
Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) (KB883357)" which is listed as a high
priority update. Generally I only download and install "Critical" updates.

Seems as though I haven't had a critical update notification in a while.
Have "Critical" Updates now been renamed to "High Priority" Updates?

Also, is this BITS update considered necessary?
