caige.aroldo: Because they are a cult, most casual linux users just like feeling superior to Windows users, even though most casual linux users actually knows less about computers than your average Windows user. The same goes for people who use Macintosh, they often know significantly less about computers than their less hip windows mates, but they feel superior for using a different operating system.
You always have a choice, the real question is whether you're competent enough to make the choice not to install every single update Microsoft delivers. I find it hilarious how people complained about Microsoft updating windows 7 computers to windows 10 as some kind of "forced update." If you subscribe to the policy of leaving automatic updates on, then you get what you deserve. Always read the patch notes.
Orkhepaj: Yes, the choice is there, just have to change a few settings. Looks like that is too much to ask from some users and they instead go use linux. Strange, as it requires way more tinkering than windows.
The tinkering is documented.
Orkhepaj: Why linux fans always troll topics about windows?
It is like they are a cult or something.

Didn't hear about the stealth updates where people who had 7 and 8 got updates despite having automatic updates disabled? I was on Linu at the time, so i didn't experience them personally, but i'm aware it was causing all sorts of trouble for internal IT people.
