linux-watch.com — Microsoft has revealed that it's working on a "significant" new feature of Windows Vista, the Restart Manager, that will let you update the operating system or applications without having to reboot the entire machine! Hello! We've been able to do this in Linux/Unix-land since, well, the 80s.

I could swear that I heard the sales pitch for this in 1994, at a WinTECH event, describing the new features of Windows 95. Then again when 2000 was released. And XP as well, suprisingly enough. I'm still waiting and suspect I will continue to wait long after Vista has been released.

"A lot of MS fanboys around here.."I think its more people recognise this as a good change (late or not), and there is no reason to bash MS for doing something right.

With every new "Windows Vista feature" I move closer and closer to using linux for everything but games.

Care to explain System84? Is this a negative feature for you?

No digg for idiotic comment at the end of the comment. I would have digged without it.

Yet another pointless MS bashing article cluttering the digg front page. Kudos.
