Ive had to go from 2.4.22 to 2.4.23 and then 2.4.24, which is 2.
Off the top of my head I cant count the number of windows patches that
required a reboot, Im going to hazard a guess its more than 2, and thats
not taking into account the fact the people that supplied my citrix
boxes recommend I set them to reboot once a week, and I can only watch
in dismay as my exchange boxes store.exe process eats more and more
memory...
