Glass houses
I see they aren't above childish jabs at others to inflate themselves.
This approach of constant updates brings to mind my concert going days.
Imagine you (the user) are crowd surfing. Being passed from one group of people to another in the audience and that MS is those many hands of the audience holding you up moving you about.
The trouble is, as has been my observation, those surfers always get dropped.
I can only imagine a sequestered machine that has no access to the web, becoming as useful as a Chromebook in BFE. Furthermore, if they don't make the updates priority before any other online activity after a dormant spell, they leave the machine just as vulnerable as those they pointed out.
