I find the Windows and Linux parts funny and accurate, though. 

i find the whole thing pretty funny though im never annoyed when my windows needs to update

I am never ceased being amazed how Windows makes updates so boring and a menial task, whereas other operating systems make it fun and introduce new features and stuff 

Windows updates are security updates and such. You don't put new features in security updates. And they don't happen often. Only every six months or so, depending on your service pack. If you were to update to Windows 8 when it comes out, THAT would introduce new features.

Your argument is invalid.

I got an email from Apple about Mountain Lion. That was NOT what I signed up for. I signed up for iTunes and App Store updates, not spam about their latest junky OS.

Security updates every 6 months? Not likely.

Like I said, Windows updates itself too frequently. There were literally over 1000 updates when I reinstalled Windows on a laptop. I don't need to buy Mountain Lion to get new features. I can install Messages on my Lion and I've just updated my Safari to Safari 6 which is the one Mountain Lion has.

Safari? *barfs*
Firefox is the way to go.

No need to be mean 

I use Safari, Chrome and Firefox, all three for different uses. I'm not partial to any one browser.

The security updates you get depend on the programs you have. On one of my computers, VLC Media Player has Windows updates a bunch.

I'm talking about OS updates, not independant software updates.

Even Microsoft Word on my Mac has annoying updates 

With OS X, though, many of the software updates update software. :L

OSX software updates only updates apps that are bundled with the computer or are Apple software such as iLife.

Downloaded and it's quite nice, I like notification center, iMessages and Game Center. Some Game Center games (Sky Gamblers!!) are just plain epic.

Also, Windows has a flawed method of distribution of its new operating systems. Most users either don't have the mental capacity or the desire to download it all, burn it to a CD, and install it like that. Instead, they think that to get the new OS they need to buy another computer. Both Linux and OSX can update without the need for a full reinstallation.

Wow! That's almost free!
A free operating system... can you imagine that??

I sense thy sarcasm.

I salute your Jedi powers.

Your Jedi powers have not surfaced, however.

Except not....it's $19.99. 

Yup - an operating system for $19.99.

Correction: An operating system upgrade for 20 dollars. For an operating system that you can only use on hardware that you already paid two grand for. Windows is offering a 40 dollar upgrade to Windows 8 to computers running XP, Vista, or 7, that can be installed on any modern computer.

You're right: if you buy a new Mac you get it for free. 

I revise my post about Windows 8 being an upgrade. I just today downloaded the preview and set it up in Virtualbox. It is the most impossible and unintuitive system to use on any device not including a touchscreen.
