Do you hate it when a program asks you for a computer restart?

Many times when I install a program or modify a system setting and I'm being asked to restart the computer, I get annoyed. Do you have the same feeling? :D

I'm 50/50 on this. If I was sitting in front of the computer wanting something to finish and it tells me to reboot then yes, but if I just set it going while at the computer and then walk away I don't care.

Yes especially when i want to try a security product under Shadow Defender' s Shadow Mode but i can't because this soft needs a reboot...

It doesn't bother me. I would prefer an application to actually completely install instead of leaving out the parts it can't install due to resources that are currently in use by the system. But I guess that's just me... ;)

Yes, it's unnecessary and a waste of time. Especially for software that don't actually need a PC restart.

for a regular pc i don't mind a reboot, angry when a server needs to reboot. If you want to move to linux get a version like oracles which has ksplice and doesn't require and reboots.

I am with HeffeD on this one, i prefer the program to install completely before proceeding.
