The OS is a thousand packages in Windows, and when a Cumulative patch
comes in, the scanner goes through the OS, and matches things
needing patches, with the specific patch. Cumulatives can contain
more content than is really needed. But because the software
is split into packages, smaller objects are getting patched.

Even the download method is selective. I was doing a Windows Update
on this machine, and the download was going along slowly 1% 2% 3%,
and I was looking elsewhere and when I looked back it was a 90%, and
it obviously didn't get there by linearly download all the items from
3% to 90% in 30 second. That is likely some amount of scanning and
selection, deciding that most of what it proposed to install,
was already installed.

The tree keeps multiple versions. If one program needs version1
of a library, and another program needs version2,
they're both in the tree.

As an example of a package in the Windows tree, there is a version
of libarchive. That was integrated the same way as .zip and .cab
support was done in WinXP. Now, you can open a .7z and copy files
out of the inside of a .7z, as if it was a folder. And libarchive
needs more frequent patches, because archives are the targets
of exploits.

When it comes to third party software from the Store, the equivalent
of that on Linux is Google Earth, which is third party, and on at
least one distro, is include via a ppa linkage.
