And this is why I dropped Microsoft.

Linux never downloads an update without your permission. If you turn updates off, they will STAY off and NOT download or install without YOUR permission!!!! Also, even if you do choose to download Linux updates, it will not automatically restart your computer. YOU choose when to restart, rather than that idiotic "Updates have been installed. Your computer will restart in 5:00 unless you click Restart Later." But, even if you CLICK Restart Later, the box comes back in 5 minutes!!!!! Not in Linux. In Linux, it only asks you once "Restart Now or Restart Later?" And if you hit Restart Later, the box NEVER returns until the next update that requires a restart to apply!

And that is why I am a proud user of Linux.
