No, it's gotten much worse with Windows 10: now it'll force you to spend 45 minutes downloading and installing updates (while you can't do anything else) and then rebooting, at whatever time it feels like it, even if you're right in the middle of a critically important meeting. I don't remember XP-7 doing stuff like that.
Whenever I had to use a Windows PC during the Windows XP - Windows 7 days, I'd wonder how Windows users ever got anything done.
Windows would almost constantly interrupt any sort of flow with notifications about updated virus definitions, really really urgent updates that need a reboot right now, the highly relevant information that I got a new DHCP IP etc. etc.
It's gotten better now I believe, and OS X usability has indeed suffered a bit while expanding in features.
