Why to reboot after windows updates

[angrysquirrel]

This is what happened after doing about 10 windows updates without rebooting, I'm not sure why 2 of them were running before the updates. I was wondering why this machine wasn't crunching d2ol.

Whoa, you have some bad negative voltages there. Pff, Windows sucks. Unix can dynamicly update files without a restart. :)

Nothing runs off of the -12V line (anymore) so it doesn't really matter. It's probaly more the fault of a crappy measurement chip than a PSU problem.
