Bobbins.

If you got some clue and actually read stuff rather than the FUD you seem to have consumed, you would know;

a) The consumers get all the updates forced onto them. This is so Great Aunt Nancy with her Asus Netbook she bought from Tesco can't start pushing malware to all and sundry via her TalkTalk broadband.

b) If you're running Enterprise versions of Windows 10, you still use WSUS/SCCM to manage the updates and you still can defer up to 3 months. So your existing OAT processes still stand.

c) If you have machines that you really don't want to update, then you can use Mission Critical mode, which deploys patches much like service packs today, but you'll have to pay a tiny bit of an uplift on your Enterprise Agreement for support for those machines, much like you would if you wanted to keep Windows XP now.
