I wish browsers updated their code without needing to restart. Ksplice made it work for the Linux kernel. Why can't it work for user-space apps?

> The Internet Explorer Example

This is simply wrong. It wasn't people at home not upgrading that is the main problem. It is a problem, but the biggest factor especially this far in is corporates who won't change no matter what. Some of our clients, large banking organizations, have only just upgraded from IE6 to IE8. And one of them "plans to this year". Silent updates would make no difference here as those environments will be the first to make use of methods to block said updates.
