And that'* only assuming you have those updates setup like that. Go to www.windowsupdate.com if you aren't sure, actually do it anyways, and do it often!

Also MS Office is available on a Mac too. Files transfer w/ no problems except for some minor font issues if you use crazy fonts.
As for getting a Mac to use print programs, yeah the industry is all about Macs. But if you're looking for a home computer and money'* tight, Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, and all of the standard creative programs are also available for PC. And switching files between the 2 platforms is no problem. Although I think you'll find buying new versions of all that software, for Mac or PC, would be much more than the cost of a new computer.
