Rahul, I am not talking about the UI, I am talking about the information 
you get from the two systems, and what that content tells the user. The 
UI is totally irrelevant in this case.

Even non-technical user do strange things, so I would say that your 
notion of what non technical users do is pretty skewed.

If they do not care about problems with updates etc, then why do we have 
notifications? They serve, in this context, the same purpose, informing 
the user about problems with the system.
