+1, and remember that they have an advantage right off the bat:
- much fewer subsystems (Windows and a couple of tiny apps, vs. Linux's
entire universe of applications)
- patch model that pushes large patch sets at long intervals rather than
frequent fine-grained patches.
I think Linux has to have a better heuristic as to when a reboot is
necessary. Actually, any event that breaks the user's work flow is as
bad: X crash/logoff is as disruptive as a reboot, unless we had a way to
restore the application state in the way Firefox or Emacs or OpenOffice
recover from crashes (restarting, opening the windows where they were
and recovering the content).
