Yep… important stuff.
Good article about the updates here:

Don’t try to get by without these.
I'm still running Win 7 and only needed one reboot. I didn't do the IE 10 upgrade/update though.
Did all the updates, had to reboot twice in Windows 7, and only once in Windows 8. Odd thing though, I have an old Windows XP machine I am rebuilding and it had no updates required at all.
Not sure their supporting it, Tom.
A couple of WinXP VMs at work had at least 4 patches available. Looks like XP still has support until April 2014 :- http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/end-support-help
On XP I had 2 or 3 plus the malicious software tool. (???)
I got curious so fwiw they were:
KB890830 Win Malicious Software Removal Tool
KB2809289 Cumulative Security Update for IE8
KB2807986 Security Update for Windows XP
As far as WC is concerned, IE10 doesn't work well on it's native OS. I'm afraid to try it on 7.
Wiz did, and his IE has been fubar ever since.
Five updates and one reboot. No IE though...yuck!
On W7 works perfectly... including WC, at least for me.
