Windows is inferior because it needs to be restarted when updates or applications are installed. By contrast, Linux never needs to restart.

That is only if there is a TON of updates that you have missed. If you keep up with all of the updates, and don’t get a few weeks behind, then you shouldn’t have to restart. But when you slack off and don’t update, it will ask you to update.

Oh, right. It’s the user’s fault, ThomasB. D’oh! How could I forget?

At least Linux provides updates on a regular routine. Windows updates are few and rare.

Er… Linux, a supposed example of masterful coding skills, requires more regular updates than Windows (which is utter bollocks, by the way) and this somehow makes it superior? Sir, I salute your logic skills.

Tommy: Please tell me how to access the FewAndRare button on my crappy old Windows XP Home system.

I’m beginning to find these automatic updates slightly annoying. Once in a blue moon, I could live with; every week or so, well, it just goes to show what a rubbishy OS it is. Not like Linux, with updates on a regular routine. (“Shome mishtake, shurely? — Ed”)

I’m also annoyed that XP invariably works the next time I reboot it.

I want the full, raw, Ubuntu Desktop Experience!

RAW!
