Spyware? Though it gives you an option to NOT install it's own toolbar, default search engine, etc... it still stole my default search engine and added its toolbar. It also performed a "fake" uninstall by only removing it's entry from the Vista Programs list leaving all files in place. ESPECIALLY an undeletable program folder which I haven't yet been able to delete with an administrator account.
Aside from that :P some of its recommendations found a version I have installed in another boot parition or used bad logic on version v10.x.x.x being older than v5.x.x.x? It also recommended replacing MS Intellipoint w/ Synaptic drivers because they had a higher version?
For downloading updates, pretty much keeps you inside their interface or website making it almost impossible to confirm that you are indeed downloading the latest/correct update.
Though UpdateStar doesn't include driver updates, its less scary to use, however I've found these kind of programs have many false positives (seems to need an update, but the version number logic is bad)

Pretty good spin on reality by continuing to use double-speak. Boils down to which set of scientists or data get preferential treatment. Generally, everyone chooses what caters to their own philosophy or polical goals. After all, a hypothesis by it's very nature collects data to prove itself.
There is no change here, just (public) rationalization to impose a different philosophy (humanistic) on all Americans. e.g., which lobbyists are current leaders taking their perks and future votes from.
