I see the Linux does such right now.
Using a Windows platform can be a headache sometimes for the people who do not have a good internet connection always readily available .
Cons:-
1. Even not updating for a week may get you some hours of intolerance as you connect to the internet and handle the extreme lags on every boot which takes you back to 256mb RAM era.
Pros:-
1. Well Microsoft is providing you regular updates which is of great use for people with good internet to keep their systems updated.
Solution:-
The update delivery process should be a little more customizable for the users who cannot deal with that much issues as they connect to internet and sacrifice their half a day before they can actually do something.
let me know what you think of this.
