I have this Windows XP box from Falcon Northwest at home. I run an Ubuntu box at work. I probably get 10 times as many updates on the Ubuntu box. Every update from Microsoft requires a reboot. Maybe 1 out of 10 updates from Ubuntu requires an update, usually only if there’s a new kernel. Today’s update from MS was about MSI. The installer system requires a patch to the kernel? WTF? This is one of the reasons that I will probably never buy a Windows machine again.

This won’t make them change the away they deliver updates but a kind of hack for us.
