   Microsoft has trained its users to abhor updates since they often come   
   with unwanted changed to the operating system and worse performance.   
   Meanwhile, Linux users get such a kick out of updates that they're likely   
   to go into a terminal and run the update command manually in the hope that   
   one of their programs gained a feature, got a bug fix or got some sort of   
   code optimization. It's a very different environment. I hope having AI in   
   Notepad or helping you out in Mahjongg is worth the serious decrease in   
   performance.
