At least with Linux, the updates replace the broken stuff on your
machine, and you don't need to hang onto to the update packages. ;-)
I've watched Windows fill up the drive with downloaded patches that you
must keep on the drive, and it applies some patches on top of what it's
doing each run-time (booting gets slower and slower).
Yes the HUGE advantage of Linux over Windows is the file system and
the update system. RPM files are great and you never defragment a Linux
file system. My wife still likes Windows because she likes the solatare
game.
