	Well Microsoft does nothing to educate the users do they?

	They used to keep the non-Ms developers in the dark as well.
The point is that Ms and Apple prefer users stay ignorant of everything
that might detract from profit.  They like to think of their machines
as appliances but my blender, toaster and various mixing devices do
not need updates to stay secure.  The IOT will need that and your
coffee maker will have to wait on the updates when you turn it on in
the morning just like Windows and wouldn't that be wonderful and time
saving?

	My PCLinuxOS will tell me when I have updates wanting
and wait for me to take the time to open Synaptic and get my updates.
I will not be interrupted as I browse, process text or view images,
or work in my word processor.  I will have no IOT devices in my
house and my coffee maker only needs to wait for the water to
boil for me to respond to its audible signal.
