Windows offers that capability as well. Applications can be "reboot-aware" and relaunch after a reboot in their pre-reboot state.

Not many apps take advantage of that, however.



But Windows will reboot for an update even if an app isn’t “reboot aware”. So I can be encoding videos or downloading a large game and it will just reboot, and I’ll wake up to the task not done.


My browsers do, my IDEs do, and my productivity apps do.

All in all, not too shabby.
