Windows Update on my laptop has taken about 5 hours so far, and been through 3 restarts. It keeps getting errors. It is only updating the OS.
On Linux, I can update the OS and all the apps with a single command. It does not need any restarts, gets no errors, and takes only a few minutes.
What is the advantage of using Windows?

Ubiquity + pool of available software ? No argument that Linux is easier to maintain.
Windows update has caused an awful lot of headaches for me, particularly if the machine is low-spec (tablets, older machines, etc.). Another gripe is Windows' love of jamming up with 100% disk activity for ages at a time... often caused by Windows Update in the background.
When my Windows box goes into update coma, my little Raspberry Pi 3 never fails to deliver basic utility computing (typing, email, web) during the wait. Hmm...
