So #Microsoft will be monetising "not rebooting" #Windows: You can avoid security update-related reboots by paying for a monthly subscription.

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

@harrysintonen Reducing the reboots required for patching benefit not only the ecosystem, but Microsoft themselves, so directly that they should pay us to opt into reboot-free patching.
