Windows update is the #1 reason I even ever moved to linux in the first place.

- you can run updates whenever you like. no nag screens, no automatic reboots

- even when you do run updates you don't usually need to reboot and if you do need to reboot you can choose when to do so yourself.

- updates don't install ads or other unwanted crap

- (on debian at least) updates don't tend to break anything.

- no stalling boot

- no stalling shutdown -- I can't count the amount of times I've stayed up late because windows update was preventing shutdown.

- still automatic updates if you want with all of these advantages.

Yes. so? Just because you and I know that windows update is awful in comparison to package managers on linux doesn't mean everyone does.
