"Hilarious. You're a genius in your own mind. Apple fanboi? Grump Linux admin? Oh, I know, you're an Amazon employee aren't you?"

Now that is an ad hominem attack. I see that you can learn! Good for you!

Now please spit Bill Gate's baby maker out of your cock holster and explain to me why frequent updates are good and why 'Patch Tuesday' shouldn't be a day off of work.

If you have an iPhone or an Android device, you’re updating apps on your phone sometimes daily. Microsoft can do no right by most admins. They got a bad rap for their shitty kernel pre-Vista. They fix the kernel, completely rebuilding it from the ground up, but everyone hates it because the kernel is hardened. Then they completely redesign their development process into what we now call DevOps, focusing on security through every step of the process, and now because they push security updates once a month, they’re a terrible OS?

In every enterprise IT department in every company larger than a mom and pop around the world, Windows AND LINUX admins are (or should be) patching their machines. Windows is not unique. Windows 10, Windows Server, Office... they’re all patched to keep them secure. Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, Oracle... they’re all patched to keep them secure.

Your argument that Windows 10 is inferior because they patch monthly is absurd. Windows, MacOS, iOS, Linux, Hell even Cisco hardware has a regular patch cadence. If you think Windows is the only operating system patched regularly, you’re either blissfully ignorant or have a very specific vendetta against Microsoft.
