The program, in this case, was six ?critical? updates and eight ?recommended? updates. Reading the descriptions showed the difference between ?critical? and ?recommended.? As in, it is ?critical? that you exit your burning airplane and ?recommended? that you use a parachute in the process.

That's a great article-- and it's on MSNBC, which is surprising.  These are just some more of the hidden problems to bargain hunting computer buyers.  The eMac is still much more expensive than a WinXP machine with a flatscreen monitor, but we all know that it's worth it.

Let's see...113 upgrades.

Being conservative, one hour per upgrade at $35 per hour = $ 3955!

Gee, see how much you save by going with the cheaper Windows machine?
