I often keep using Windows after installing updates, postponing a reboot
until it is convenient. Never had a problem (not in recent memory
anyways - with the more recent versions of Windows - 2000 through 7).

These days package-kit seems to tell me I need to reboot *most* of the
time. :-(  Yes, some those reboots may not actually *required* if I know
what needs to be restarted. Not sure which you meant...
