Is osx as annoying as windows regarding updates?

[Hyloba]

I dislike windows updates. It keeps nagging to restart ever so often, which I postpone for good reason. And it updates during the most awful times, without my consent.

My question is: is osx this annoying with updates?

OS X is somewhat similar, but you can disable auto updates if you want and just check manually.

Here is the settings screen in System Preferences.

I never notice updates.

The only thing in creation more annoying than Windows updates is signing for a Microsoft 'Account' - like volunteering to wear a strait jacket with an itchy lining..

Grateful thanks to Weaselboy for a very constructive advisory.

The biggest difference you would notice is there are far less OS-X updates that require a restart. A lot can be changed within the OS on the fly.
