To me that's negligence not impressive
Oh I agree, but the up time for a windows server ain't to bad...
I mean when was the last time you've ever heard of a server with that kind of up time?
is it impressive though? if you need to reboot to install updates/security fixes, then you need to reboot. That whole uptime thing is just a crock! Something Unix admins love to brag about. Can Unix really update the kernel without rebooting the OS? If yes, then why doesn't Windows do that too?
UNIX, not that I know of (been quite a while), Linux, yes, yes it can.

Then the same question applies, why can Linux do it and Windows can't?

Linux only relatively recently gained this ability (2 years since I found out about the capability, and ~1 year that it's be included in the kernel.) It's not a trivial process, and nobody outside of Microsoft has any idea if their kernel is even capable of replacing itself on a live system.

Normally people get fired before it goes that far.

No.
Some can. It's specific to the OS and sometimes hardware.

yeah, that's what I was thinking.

It's been around at least five years but almost no one cared. So it was not pushed.

Ah, I must've just found out about it about the time they started rolling it into the kernel then.

Yes, it was around long before it was rolled into the kernel. But it was mostly edge cases looking into it. Very few people were really that excited about it, which I found surprising even then. But it's true, even today, I don't care that much about it

At least converting me from the "It's annoying to reboot, the longer I can go between reboots the better" mindset was quicker and easier than RAID 5, even tho most of you never knew the process was taking place.
