Except that nothing was said of Windows in that post. It was a simple clarification of what a more-or-less typical Linux update system looks like.

For most users, the update system on a typical Linux distribution vs. Windows isn't going to make much of a difference. For people with a deeper interest, it's going to be a mixed bag. As an example: it is far easier to figure out which parts of the system are being updated under Linux and, in the case of Mint, the update priorities are more fine-grained. Descriptions of the nature of the update can be hit-and-miss. On the other hand, most Windows updates offer a better description if you follow the link to Microsoft's website. Yet there is no information about the nature of the update in the update software in most cases, which means that selectively approving updates involves a lot more work.

None of that is FUD. It is a simple description of the differences. While Microsoft would probably be doing everyone a favour by making those better-than-Linux descriptions more easily available, it isn't a concern for most home users who can get away with simply approving all updates. (On the other hand, the rolling feature updates coming with Windows 10 make make it an issue for home users who don't want to adapt to more rapid change.)
