ShadowAce, you of all people should know better.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Linux, Apple, or Microsoft, you are going to be patching those systems, likely monthly. To say that going to Linux is a panacea for patching is disingenuous.
The OP doesn’t seem to know what they want. In the title they say MS needs to end “noxious update nonsense,” but then in their screed, they say that Microsoft needs to patch their security vulnerabilities.
Which is it? You understand that MOST patches are for security purposes, esp. the ones that force a reboot. Microsoft’s been harangued for years for being “insecure,” and their fix for that is to force patching up-to-date, and now they take guff for that. Unreal.
ROFL!
It really was a joke. But I've seen enough of those kinds of comments that I thought I'd jump in there. Nothing serious.
Agreed. Patch or no patch, they get grief.
I think part of the problem (speaking from outside the environment), is that MS' method for patching is onerous and intrusive. Not to mention required, and forced reboots. I honestly don't mind frequent updates--I'd prefer more often than once per month--as they keep systems secure as problems arise.

I suspect Microsoft knows its vulnerabilities and updates to prevent the latest attacks.
However, new attacks will be made as long as any vulnerability remains.
