For now, this feature will be available for Windows Server 2025, but I see great business potential in the consumer market...

Not overly expensive. But I have to wondering how bad the reporting will become, how many false alerts will be generated, how 3rd party vulnerability scanners will detect it as needing a reboot before it's patched.

Based on Microsoft's track record for service alerts over the last year, I can see a lot of headaches incoming.
