How can anyone work on an operating system that behaves that's way? Complain about MacOS we might but at least it doesn't restart without us being able to stop

  It actually isn't this way. In the control panel you simply tell the updates to install when you're not using the computer. The only time it forces you to update is when you have ignored or disabled the updates for a period of time.

    Yes and no. It'll wait until you're not using the computer to install overnight, when you've been away for a while, whatever. What it won't do as far as I've seen is allow applications to block the restart if perhaps they contain unsaved data. Your unsaved data is not Windows' problem, and after the restart it won't be yours either - if the app doesn't support hot exit/autosaving of modified buffers/documents then recreating unsaved data will be your problem (but still not Windows' problem).
