   And you can’t even continue doing work while the update is installing.   
   Unlike Unix/Linux systems, Windows won’t let you replace files that are   
   curently in use by a running process. So you have to stop everything until   
   the update is done.   
      
   Even Linux updates that require a reboot only need downtime for the actual   
   reboot, not for the installation of the update.
