reboot madness

don't mean to beat a dead horse or anything but windows really does suck and I mean their supposedly flagship xp pro.
my work has gone through a number of updates and last week was office and this week adobe acrobat just between those two updates I had to reboot a total of 5 times - 2 for office and three for acrobat.
WTF!! - this is insane - it is crap that isn't even on the hardware level - it is way up on the application level and I have to fricken reboot the machine.
sorry to rant but i just don't get it - the sheeple just accept this as business as usual. it is ridiculous though that I have to reboot the machine to install a word processing update and a pdf viewer update. RIDICULOUS!! but I am glad office and windows are "enterprise" ready. what bs.
it is so nice to come home to my suse box at home that does just about everything ( web serving with apparmor, movie making, print serving, firewall/connection sharing etc etc ) along with excellent xgl performance - there is such a difference - I mean night and day difference. oh and by the way there were updates needed when I came home - I installed them and that was that - no reboot needed.
