Microsoft will reduce the number of distracting restarts for updates to Windows 8, part of its plan to simplify how people interact with the upcoming operating system, a company manager said today.
Security experts, including ones who have criticized Microsoft's updating practices in the past, applauded the changes.
"Streamlining the update effort and the better messaging is smart," said Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer with Qualys. "I like the improvements."
