    Ars Technica[^]:

    "Hotpatching" originated in Windows Server, cuts way down on update reboots.

    "Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again"

    My memory is as faulty as always, but I remember them saying this with the original NT 4 release, and either Weven or Vista (or both). Maybe even Weleven?

      Oh, perfect... So now the system will get broken while we are working? :doh:

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        I seem to remember this promise with XP SP3, Windows 7, and Windows 8. However, there really are fewer patches requiring a reboot each month. The problem is there is still one patch that requires it each month.
