Windows 8 requires less reboot

Good News from Microsoft.Microsoft has said that their new upcoming OS Windows 8 will require less restart when you install an update or fix a bug.

It is a known fact that Windows requires a lot of restarts. Restarting is undoubtedly irritating but it cannot be avoided because the files cannot be used or updated until the PC is restarted. Although everyone knows that it is a necessary evil but at times it becomes frustrating as you may have to restart your machine in the middle of doing something important.

In Windows 8 all updates that require a reboot will be downloaded on Microsoft's familiar Patch Tuesday. This means that you will need to reboot your PC just once in a month. In case of high priority security updates exceptions can be made.

Once the machine has been updated you will be notified of any upcoming restarts. Unlike the previous Windows versions the message will pop-up in the log in screen of Windows 8 and will remain for three days, sparing you from continuous pop up notifications.

After 3 days Windows 8 will flash an automatic restart massage only when your machine is idle i.e. there are no processes running or files opened. Windows 8 is scheduled to release in 2012 though no official date has been released from Microsoft.
