So you are just going to ignore the fact that Microsoft abused the security patch channel to automatically "upgrade" people to windows 10?

  OS updates should come through the normal security patch channel! That's how OS X does it, and that's how Chrome OS does it.

    Still, Microsoft misused the channel. They made it intrusive, misleading and impossible to control more than once.

    OS updates should come through the normal security patch channel! Except when you are "updated" from a full, paid version to a spyware/adware-ridden version. Seriously: I think Windows 10 is great, technically and usability wise. But MS need to learn that they can't have it both ways: Paid xor ads. (I can think of two exception: inside the store app and inside settings for onedrive.)

    Well, it's not how most Linux distros do it. If your update has breaking changes, it's not a security update. There is no good reason to excuse Microsoft for maliciously disguising updates as security patches in order to manipulate the non tech-savvy into switching to their new unprecedentedly invasive OS. Especially when, as you said, the UI is worse. The entire UX of Windows 10 is worse, every time I have to use it for something I get physical anxiety from claustrophobia. I really don't like that I have to install untrusted 3rd party software on my computer in order to prevent my operating system from automatically ruining my user experience and spying on me.
