The biggest difference between  Linux and Windows' updates is that the 
Linux updates work but there's always a chance that the Windows' update will 
cause a BSOD. I've used Linux for about 18 years. Never once has an update 
caused a system failure — and I've had old computers that I didn't update 
for over a year.

To me the huge update (instead of a number of small ones, like Linux uses) 
is just asking for trouble. And after two weeks, Linux doesn't have "huge" 
updates. As mentioned above, I've gone much longer than two weeks and 
updates still take less than a couple minutes. Linux is definitely superior 
in how it updates. Not even close for Windows. This is one of the main 
reasons I like Linux.
