Why Do Microsoft Updates Require a Reboot but…

With very few exceptions every update for today’s software seems to be done in the background and quietly.  Why is it then Microsoft, the company in my case that built the bloody OS, with very few exceptions, requires a reboot whenever their software is updated?

Is this backwards DOS compatibility, (if that exists.  It does sound good, though)

This would go unnoticed if I didn’t spend so much time now interaction with my three Android based devices, an EVO 4G, a Droid X2 and Kindle Fire.

Except for the memory card self destruction on my EVO on  a regular basis; each of these devices seem to know when to update and how to do it without getting in my way.

Take heed MS.  You’re not the only kid on the block by a long shot. Think buggy whip and journalist…
