Windows update is the #1 reason I even ever moved to linux in the first place. - you can run updates whenever you like. no nag screens, no automatic reboots - even when you do run updates you don't usually need to reboot and if you do need to reboot you can choose when to do so yourself. - updates don't install ads or other unwanted crap - (on debian at least) updates don't tend to break anything. - no stalling boot - no stalling shutdown -- I can't count the amount of times I've stayed up late because windows update was preventing shutdown. - still automatic updates if you want with all of these advantages.
