But I wish they would.
I am just glad that Office Installs, or changing IP's no longer requires it.
Frustrating.... |

After installing the client, you set the IPs. After setting the IPs, it asks you to reboot. Won't work unless you do.
I decided one day to find out where in the registry the IPs are stored and set them that way. Great, it worked out but the client still needed a reboot. I made two simple Strings for the IPs.
You see the problem? It writes the data, and will not re-read those two simple strings unless you reboot! Whoop-de-friggin-do!!!! 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of other programs write info in the registry and they don't require a reboot to re-read information! You know what? Basically Network Connections does the same, in regards to writing the settings into the registry. You certainly don't see the OS asking you to reboot after changing the NIC properties. Heck, you don't even need to reboot to reinstall/install a NIC driver.
If anything, I think 3rd-party software needs improvement. When Sun Java asks for a reboot, it works fine without . Same for VNC, Alcohol 120%, ...

said by fiberguy:said by icex:said by Julio:i prefered "longhorn" over "vista" I concur. Vista sounds gay; longhorn owned. Yea, and next thing you know, there will be a constitutional amendment banning the name Vista since it sounds "gay" too right? It is a frigging name. Who cares? I care about performance! NOT A FRIGGING NAME!
