Normal?
Normal? Is sitting through hours upon hours of Windows 10 cumulative updates, followed by a Windows 10 Fall Creators Edition FCU K'EDition install, anyway normal regards 'software as a service'?
In fairness to Windows 10 itself -it isn't too bad, of late (if you ignore the slurp), but Windows Update is anything but 'normal'/routine. WU is what its always been - a clunky bag of rusty nails.
Open source has a lot going for it, if you ignore the people paid to tell you different.
