Not quite on topic, but I wiped my drive and reinstalled XP Pro over the weekend. Since some Windows Updates require a) that you install them separately from other updates and b) that you reboot after installing, I restarted - I counted - 37 times. My hand to God.
If my PC weren't a fast boot, I'd still be there.

In contrast, I upgraded one of my Fedora servers just last night from media I have a subscription service to which included about 50 package updates including a kernel upgrade and it required exactly 2 reboots. One to boot off the media, and one after it was complete.
