Vista To Be Updated Without Reboots

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 2, 2005 @07:04AM from the welcome-to-the-world-of-tomorrow dept.

UltimaGuy writes "Microsoft is working on a new feature for Windows Vista, known as Restart Manager, which will update parts of the operating system or applications without having to reboot the entire machine. From the article: 'If a part of an application, or the operating system itself, needs to updated, the Installer will call the Restart Manager, which looks to see if it can clear that part of the system so that it can be updated. If it can do that, it does, and that happens without a reboot.'"

Their operating system is becoming more and more like a modern operating system every day! Maybe they'll catch up to OS X, BSD, and Linux within the decade!
