Speaking of Windows Update, does anyone know why it's so terrible?

On your average Linux-distro:

  Run "package-manager update"
  wait for download (ususally pretty quick)
  installs
  might need to restart if there's a kernel upgrade or something
  done.
But on Windows I dread every time there's an update because it's such a shitshow.

Download is slow - hobbyist running their own servers have better bandwidth than a trillion dollar company.

The install is slow.

The install doesn't even finish in the control panel dialog.

There's a second install step just before you restart.

There's a THIRD install step just before you login.

You go to Windows Update again to double check and guess what, it didn't install everything for some reason, repeat the above steps N fucking times.
