But you’re already inured, desensitized, numbed after years, decades
of suff^H^H^H^Husing Windows. So how would you know when it becomes a
pain in a normal person’s arse?

 
 
Since you don't run Windows you don't know how unobtrusive Windows
Updates actually are.
 
I don't recall ever once being interrupted by Windows telling me it has
to install an update right now (or giving a non-dismissable countdown
eg 30s to install an update and reboot).
 
That kind of interruption and reboot would be my pita test.

 
Admittedly, Windows has gotten pretty good with the updates to a point
that it doesn't really bother you with new ones. If you're like my wife,
you never do any and don't even realize that there are updates to be
done. It will eventually force you, especially if there are 0-days being
actively exploited, but it won't take up your work day or anything of
the sort unless you're the type to restart every five minutes. Start the
computer at 8am, shut it down at 5pm and it _might_ stay on to do an
update.
