"Fun" fact: Windows is finally just now, in the year of our lord 2026, trying to release some updates as "live". As in not requiring reboot.

It's going better than you'd expect, but still far worse than they have any excuse for.

    Not exactly correct. They are releasing their hot patch service more broadly. These are updates that would normally require a restart no longer need to be restarted.

    Just like Linux though, if you didn’t want to restart after updating you never really were forced to.

    thats only if it actually downloads and installs. our enterprise windows installs like to take 5-10 attempts to actually get the software onto the computer. "Install failed. retry?"

    Odd, most companies don’t have problems with them.
