Right, which is why Microsoft has been tweaking its support platform with Windows 10 to try to narrow the number of simultaneous versions they must support, then all the efforts to funnel users faster through updates so that they retire updates faster.
All the complaints about Windows 10 forcing users to update are exactly related to Microsoft trying to narrow the forest of possibilities of patch/update/upgrade combinations in the wild.
All the complaints from companies that Windows 10 major update versions now only have 18-month support terms (as opposed to say nearly 10-years like XP), is again, Microsoft trying to shrink the forest to focus on fewer, more important trees.
As a user, I want Microsoft to force more updates if it means better support and faster fixes, and it disappoints me how every time Windows 10 is brought up here on HN, or over on The Verge or Ars Technica, a half dozen people come out of the woodwork to loudly complain about Windows 10 updates.
