I agree that it shouldn't be a critical update; that's why I am trying to
investigate further before approving. Microsoft is not automatically on my
trusted sources list.

You don't happen to know if there is an equivelent to SysDiff that will work
with Vista? I'd like to see for sure what this update does on a Vista VPC
before deploying it.

Dunno but it is not a "critical" update.

How is adding new words to the dictionary a critical update? Microsoft
puts
all the development, packaging, desting, and deployment efforts of a
Windows
Update for something the user could add by simply choosing Add from the
spellcheck menu? Is there more to this update than meets the eye?
