Sometimes Patch Tuesday means that absolutely everyone — even the Server Core addicts — have no choice but to reboot. This is one of those months.

Microsoft’s latest round of patches, out now, includes seven updates covering Windows, Office, Internet Explorer and Lync. Three definitely require a restart; four probably do.

It’s Windows. It’s weird if you *don’t* reboot.
