Win2k is a little better in the reboot deptartment. I can actually change 
my ip address w/o rebooting!
But you can forget about not reinstalling if you change the boot drive.
The big problem is that MS has indeed made rebooting a machine a common, 
and needed function.
I cant fathom why it needs to reboot just to install a damn program! (I 
know why, but it could be done differently) Actually, I've gotten into the 
habit of NOT rebooting it, if the program can actually function before the 
appointed reboot. Alot of time, there is no real need to.
Another thing thats made my windows experience more tolerable, is using the 
open source, GLP'd  litestep shell, with a highly customized BarQNX theme.

My SuSE 7 install(s) didnt even have to reboot, once! As it should be....
