Microsoft Update

Whoever is in charge of determining what is a critical update, and what is not a critical update does not work with computers, has never run a computer lab or in charge of a large computer system. I do not think that him/her/they have ever build a image of a computer. A person should be able to download the updates and walk away and come back after 63 updates have been downloaded and installed... simple you think. But "NO" in Microsoft's infinite wisdom the "windows validation," has been determined to be a critical update, but for the update to install a person had to manually install the update. So in the process of downloading and installing 63 updates I leave and return expecting the updates are installed and I can install the next set up updates; NOT THE CASE. I have to say "ok" install the "microsoft validation tool" thus wasting my time. And IE Explorer 8 SHOULD NOT BE A CRITICAL UPDATE. The are educational sites and other web sites that IE 8 cannot display right. I have 14 computer labs all with different missions, running different applications, and Microsoft thinks that I need IE 8 in all my labs. If I needed IE 8 then I would download it, and install on my computers, but I do not need it. A person should be able to start the download of critical updates, walk away, return in 15 to 20 minutes and verything should be done; nothing to more to do.
