I don't know about Vista, but the last Windoze box I installed Windoze on
(XP) certainly required MANY reboots. Just getting the manufacturer's
drivers installed required a reboot to install EACH of the devices
supported by the manufacturer. Some other device drivers also required
reboots to get installed. This has changed in Vista?
Cheers.
