Important Update? KB946486

Update KB946486.

Can someone explain why this update is an important update for Windows Vista
when the KB article clearly states:

This article describes an update to Windows Live Photo Gallery that is
available on Microsoft Update. This update will be offered to customers who
have Windows XP computers that have version 2008 of Windows Live Photo
Gallery installed. These updates will be automatically installed if you have
chosen to enable updates to be installed on the system automatically. If you
have chosen the option to decide whether you want to download or install
updates, you will be notified of these new updates on the day that they are
available.

Did you read the part under ' Uninstalling Windows Desktop Search on a
Windows XP-based computer may cause metadata loss and broken
functionality for photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery ' ?

Peter ... ignore my previous post. Forgot which NG I was in.
Frankly, I know of no reason why that update is offered to a Vista system.
Speculation - perhaps it's Important if one 'downgrades' to XP ? <w>

Thanks. I installed it anyway and nothing seems to have broken in the
process.

Hey,

KB946486 has been downloaded to my PC a couple of weeks ago, but the
installation of this update always fails!!

I have a Windows XP computer that have version 2008 of Windows Live Photo
Gallery installed, and i have enabled updates to be installed automatically.

Do i need this update? Why will it not install on my PC? Is there any way
for me to remove this update?

DAG.
