That's not a fact, it's an outright lie.   Windows has automatic
downloading and patching from a central store.
For the OS itself and a few selected MS apps.
Yes.

Ah, so we agree here
Not even all MS apps are included.
That's not true.

Fine. Show us the link where *all* MS apps are included with "windows update"

I have no need to do so, for even if I'm wrong about that, it doesn't make Roy's statement "Not to mention the fact that Windows does not have a centralised patching mechanism" true.

*No* third party apps are included
Even if that were true, it's dragging the goalposts from "Windows does
not have a centralised patching mechanism."

It is true.

No it's not.


And please show us where only MS apps (and only a select subset of those) are eligible for "universal patching" Since about everyone has apps from different vendors installed (on a typical windows install), they would benefit greatly from a "centralised patching mechanism". Yet that does not exist at all. It exists only for a subset of MS apps

You contradict yourself above. It can not both "not exist at all," and also exist "only for a subset of MS apps."

So yes, it is a fact.
No, that's a lie told to cover Roy's lie.

You have shown nothing so far to substantiate your claim

This post and this thread prove you wrong.

Your hatred of Windows, Microsoft, and Bill Gates is not a license to
lie about them.
He didn't
Yes he did, and it's easily verified that both you and he are wrong.

Good. Since it is "easily verified " you will now supply the links, right? Riiiight?

You have only to read this post and this thread. You've done all that's needed to prove both of you liars.
