Why da fwak can't I update my windows whenever I want?

I mean generally ... you can.

"Eventually" you have to... but it's a hell of a LONG eventually, and that's because humans are idiots and would just let it never update and just join the hordes of shitty bots out there on the internet.

You can when ever you want, Just not through the windows update.

@N00bPancakes Yeah, and if the vendor (like MS) doesn't have a proper QA and updates have a track record of fucking up things, of course people are not willing to update.

On the other hand, if you don't trust your OS vendor to get updates right, there's no reason to trust the OS itself, and ditching that crap would solve the problem.

You can.

You are forced to update once every 3 months or so, and if you didn't you would likely get viruses so that's a good thing.
Also, you can't update when Microsoft doesn't have an update available.
So yeah, you're constrained between logic and reason.

What they should provide but very few software companies actually do is a way to regularly update but only, say, once the new release gets one month old. That way the user can avoid bugged releases without much trouble.

@homo-lorens there is already a way: switch updates to business channel (that is a group policy so unavailable in "peasant edition")
