I heared of promised 75% less reboots (say, one of four still remains to 
be optimized). And, in fact, you need less reboots (I already experienced
that).

And I think, in this case (putting some stuff deep inside the registry)
it's like in Linux when you change a config file but you don't know how to
HUP the associated process. So the easiest way is to reboot (as it is in
Linux in this case).

I think, the reboots they reduced mean that the config dialogs can handle
these HUPs by themselves now. But only if you change the values via these
dialogs.
