I'm sorry, but that's just bullshit. The Linux / Windows update situation that is most analogous to the carrier-gated smartphone updates is updating OSes inside large companies. It's the same update process - a third party has to certify your update and then the update is incrementally rolled out to a large number of computers. So how do corporations do with their Windows and Linux updates? Well, I'm using XP and RHEL 5 these days and I don't think my experience is at all atypical...
