>It sounds like the basic (?) security practices recommended by professionals The problem with windows is that crap can not be upgraded without stopping workflow and rebooting. With linux distros you can upgrade packages in a background (I think that's because you can upgrade the file being executed in linux, while in windows you can't, but I'm not sure) without even rebooting after upgrade. You can even patch your kernel without reboot. It windows you have to see an upgrade screen for an hour without an opportunity to do something useful, and after that you have to reboot. That sucks.
