- thanksgiving 9y agoNot really. It is much easier to just reboot than try to hot swap. When it comes to windows users, we have people still on xp so I'm sure these people would never reboot unless they were forced to reboot. It is fun to make fun of Microsoft but it is a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. People really don't care about eventual (in)security. If given the opportunity, we pick convenience every time.
