There's no real comparison. The way Windows updates simply sucks. Maybe
some day Microsoft will figure out how to do it right. But there's

In all fairness my Fedora box is using an older kernel that what was

Yeah. I like the way Fedora does that better than Ubuntu/Linux Mint. With
them you get a "reboot required" message with some updates — even though you
can ignore the message if you want to.
