> If one insists on using Windows for uninterruptible tasks they should be using a server edition.

The server edition can also be configured to perform automatic updates.

The relevant point is whether it's set to do so automatically by default (as the consumer version is). Any operating system can be configured to automatically update, but many of them do not.

Right, but unlike consumer versions, Windows Server doesn't make it mandatory.

Enterprise editions don't either. Why are people using consumer grade Windows for enterprise tasks?
