[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 905671, member: 51635"] Since Vista they have moved much of the system out of the kernel space, so reboots are much less frequent. Even in most "wants to reboot" cases it's simply to get a "start at boot" process going, even if it's already running. These days even things like video drivers can be updated without a reboot. OS X is pretty resilient about needing reboots, but the one app that always confused me was Quicktime.. Any Quicktime update seems to want a reboot. I never understood that. [/QUOTE]
