    how... unspectacular. geez, you win about 5 seconds by not having to restart. i'd prefer it if they fixed the cache issues.

    Yeah I know... but Gates mentioned how annoying restarting to apply updates is somewhere in his memos before he left MS. I'll just continue to dream. :rolleyes:

    Interesting, as more and more updates don't need a restart. And espencially in the server space, they try to make updates not need to restart a server...
