• I could moan about the addiction Windows has for reboots and remember the many months of uptime commonly seen on MVS/370 where a patch seldom required an outage.  (I think I did just moan...)

    It really is good that Microsoft are looking at how to move Windows to be a low or no downtime OS that is still patched and up to date.  Windows Server 2019 looks like a good step along this road, but I hope it is not that last one that Microsoft take.
