Re: Replacing Linux with Windows, based on *cost*?

""Does Windows still lock users out of their computer while installing patches or whatever it is it does, and then forces them to reboot?""

You can install them when convenient to you, but yes some types of Windows updates still need a reboot which is rather sucky.

Allegedly this will be fixed when a patent that Oracle? has regarding live kernel patching expires - or Microsoft manage to engineer another method...
