MS also has to share some blame here for updates that break things, and updates that restart at random times (such as when you're doing some really urgent work). This has trained a whole lot of users to believe that windows updates are a risk to their use of the computer, and now just click away any update prompts.

Honestly, though, updates breaking things are quite rare. Sure, I know of "a friend of a friend of a friend" who had something break, but honestly, aside from patch installations sometimes being started at inopportune times, I haven't personally encountered things breaking on any of my systems or those of friends or family. More things get broken because people hear that there are problems and try to stop the updates.
