I was updating my 8.1 machine the other day and it required four reboots. The first for various Microsoft-issued updates, a second for an updated nVidia driver set, the third for Acrobat (the full version, not the reader [I have no idea why this requires a reboot]), and a fourth for something I can't recall at the moment.
I realize I could've probably just combined all these into one reboot, but hey, I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to my machine's stability.
This left me wondering - will we ever see the day that, no matter what gets installed, whether it be a device driver, a system update, or an application, Windows - or any OS, for that matter - will never require rebooting? Or is that just physically impossible given the underlying hardware?
