I must fortify my inner hatred for *all* people, focus it, and lash out at those who would dare and unknowingly stand in my way.

Don't mind the Chicken Littles, they panic at everything.
Except they ignore what's really dangerous.

The second cat, is a dog. I'm deeply disappointed.

After an install why ask for a reboot when it doesn't need it?

I just installed divx. It asked me to reboot but I didn't. I played my movie anyway and it worked fine. What's up with that?

The rootkit needs a reboot to hide itself properly.

99% of the time a reboot isn't required under XP, but it doesn't hurt; files may have been locked during install and the reboot will clean them up, and you may find you're using two different versions of DLLs and things like that, so it's always a good idea.

I don't think windows needs reboots to discover new codecs at all. Media app may need restarting though. The installer may be the same for many windows versions or something.

It is windows. It always needs a reboot.

It asked you to reboot for old times sake. Remember Windows 98?
