I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

The reason that just the network stack can't be restarted if a patch is applied to it is because the Kernal needs to be unloaded from memory. The Linux Kernal is a monolithic kernel too.
Plus Windows doesn't have a built in procedure for refreshing the registry, so once a change is made that effects various programs then everything needs, mainly apps, to be restarted.
