I would put it this way: Forcing windows updates are bad, forcing windows upgrades (or shoving windows 10 down the computer's throat as I call it) is worse and forcing restart is just simply ridiculous. It all contributes to the list of reasons why I made my final decision abandoning windows for good and migrating completely to Linux.

I am proposing a small change in Windows that can lead to big improvement to the user experience.

Yes, you are right that Linux has its merits. But I don't want Windows to become so bad that the people move to Linux because of this. I want people to move to Linux because it has become better than Windows.

well said! I have been a windows user since windows 98 (bought my first PC in 2000) and a Linux user since 2009. Once Windows 8 came out, I felt like this is not going where I want it to be so I tried to move as much as I can to Linux. As of now, only 1 (out of 4 PCs I use on daily basis) is running Windows. But as you mentioned, it is sad to see such a good product is becoming unusable because of such terrible UX decisions.
