Will .NET Framework cumulative updates also be hotpatch-enabled?  If not, it's likely that clients will still require a monthly reboot for these specific update types.

    Grant,   we can appreciate how it would be great to hotpatch other updates, but I don't know of any plans to do so yet, especially since we are in the early life of hotpatching for Windows.   Even with a .NET Framework reboot, you are still getting the benefit of having the Windows OS security updates in place faster since you don't have to wait for the reboot, which is a big win.

    HTH,

    -David
