Is OS X any different? I feel like Microsoft's largely playing catch-up in that regard.

Yes it doesn't install trash like Candy Crush and Farmville, or even Facebook. It does try to ram iCloud down your throat but that's just about acceptable given that it is an Apple product and doesn't spam you.

It sure spams me with password prompts all the god damn time though

It doesn't force restarts to install new "features" you never asked for and can't decline all while creepily reminding you that "don't forget, Windows is a service!"
