Proper grammar usage: Window's Updates or is it just Windows Updates?

[WiseOldDude]

What do you run on your PC? Window or Windows

If that doesn't answer your question, then perhaps you should go back to grammar school and start over.

you are supposed to use Microsoft Update

Now you can get updates for Windows, Office and other Microsoft applications all in one place. Microsoft Update is a new service that brings you all the features and benefits of Windows Update plus downloads for other Microsoft applications including Office.

Multiple windows versions, multiple updates.

Nope. Ban.

are you sure? if we did it grammatically correct he would be right. it isn't, "this is the jones's house" it would be, "this is the jones' house."

i would say that it is possessive since windows is updating itself.

Windows is the product name, its not possessive.

Say you had an Escalade. You go to buy rims for your Escalade. Would you buy "Escalade Rims" or "Escalade's Rims"?

ok, ok i concede. i can think of a rebuttal but it just doesn't sound like normal english and it makes things worse.

WRONG!

They're updates to Windows.

I'm saying what Window's Updates means, not what you think it means.

Do you go out to the wood to play? (or play with your wood hehe) But yes saying "The Woods is Alive!" is correct.

Windows is restarting (you see when you restart) is correct - NOT Windows are restarting.
