Requires a restart
-
I just did a .net 4 install on a fresh Windows 7 PC and at the end it just said 'finished' with no request for a restart. I was quite impressed, obviously all those previous .net installs that required restarts must really have been because something was running that was locking a file. Then about 30 seconds later, pop, "To complete this install you must restart your PC". Waiting those 30 seconds was just to tease me, and to think they nearly had me praising them. :laugh:

Only the one though - that's an improvement. Not much of an improvement. But it's there. The ones that wind me up are the auto-update "You must restart to complete, restart now?" that pop up every bloody five minutes when I'm madly typing and not looking the screen. Oh, look, space bar! Restart! :mad:

Its not too bad. I think you can actually minimize that window and continue working. It actually is better than "your system will restart in 30 seconds". Giving you enough time to understand you will lose 2 hours of unsaved work but not giving you time to save anything.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

It's better in Win7, it has the option to postpone it for 4 hours. Although yesterday I actually managed to click the restart button with my mouse when I meant postpone while not quite concentrating. That was rather annoying.

We had a big restart last night. Some bugger performing system updates on the control system of our neighbouring platform, resulting in a 'you don't really need power do you?' moment! It went dark and quiet very quickly last night! :wtf:

That's quite the stress "booster". Forced to use IE to update Windows when you are better off using others.

That "feature" is so annoying that you eventually end up restarting the system.

What's funny is that when you install those Windows Updates, it's very keen to point out "HAY I'll be here hiding in your system tray and please please PLEASE remember that you can still continue working! And oh don't forget that when I finish, it doesn't matter if you saved your work or not. Yours truly, Your neighborhood Windows Annoyance™."

I just leave them open and move them off-screen. For days at a time, sometimes (which has the added bonus of suppressing further update notifications).

I think .NET 4.0 does not require a restart if you install on a fresh WinXP system. The restart seems to be necessary only when it has to update an existing .NET 2.0 installation - .NET 4.0 is patching .NET 2.0 to allow for in-process side-by-side execution.
