I am not sure whether non-techies hate updates. What they hate are _update pains_. And those are larger when you update your software every few years and not all 300 days. The biggest problem for Microsoft is that they serve the business market as well, where every update has to be checked for compatibility, but that can be solved by long term service releases. I am not sure whether the parent is right, but I wouldn't rule it out.
