Windows 10 gets a lot of flak, but it's honestly the best OS I have ever used. It's fast, stable, reliable and secure. Oh, and I should mention I'm a developer, and WSL is getting better with every release. Is it perfect? Heck no, but it's sure a lot better than Linux on the desktop and Macs are just not worth my money anymore.

I don't really count a forced reboot "now or in 15 minutes, no delays" as reliable. There are people who've had this happen in the middle of presentations at meetings.

Similarly, I've had these forced updates happen, and on relogin "click here to see what was updated" -> nothing listed.

I don't understand this whole "forced updates" FUD. Just configure the times you want your machine to be updated and it gets out of the way.

Except that the configuration options force you to choose at least a 12 hour contiguous period in which updates are allowed. If I could tell it to reboot at 4am when I'm definitely asleep that would be fine, but apparently that's not an option.

I believe that behavior is going to change with the new big update.
