I've had better luck with Windows Update than urpmi, up2date. The only Linux equivalent that works, in what I would say, better fashion that Windows Update is Gentoo's emerge.
How are the two even in the same category? Windows Update's main function is to provide a central place to patch all the holes and exploits that are discovered weekly in their software. Gentoo's emerge is there to install and update a whole library of software maintained and developed by many different companies and people. Call me blind, but I don't see the similarities.
The WorldShip Application is FREE to anyone who wants to use it. That said, in order to use it you need to have a UPS account. It is ment to be a turn key solution that meets then needs of about 90 percent of their clients. If your needs are not met by the WorldShip App, there are lots of other options they provide.
This is the same 'get them while they're young' tactics that tobacco companies use. Brand identification at an early age. Is Microsof the next Marlboro?

I guess if you don't consider strip mining pristine wilderness to be any big whoop.
