I actually enjoy available updates on Windows They are sometimes very cumbersome to install and they sometimes require something like triple reboot to fully install but they make me feel just a bit safer. Anyway things are getting better. I even encountered some updates for Win7 which do not require a reboot. Very puzzling and surprising indeed

think about it: if you were the owner of a system known for being a
real good system to support the latest games, but not so good at being
a SECURE desktop for the enterprise (or just mom and pop)…AND, if
you had full access to all the source code of a system that IS a
secure desktop, and you could look at how the secure system gets
things done without booting every five minutes (which is the ONLY way
a rootkit/keylogger can be deployed) wouldn’t you do everything you
could to learn from the secure system and make yours more secure ??
look, Microsoft has been copying the way the Xerox, NeXT and Mac GUI
has operated since the old Macintosh days, and now they are trying to
move their last century code base into a more secure system–yipee for
them!
but, they will never catch us.
we have too many good idea guys/gals all over the earth hacking and
looking at our code to keep it clean and secure, without a
entrenched bureaucracy on a Redmond campus where each little fiefdom
has to compete for crumbs from the king…
