Note the word "may".   If you're using the file it needs to update while the 
update runs, you'll need to reboot.  Otherwise, the system stops the 
service, installs the patches, and starts up the service again, etc.

Well, for one thing, you're still running XP, right? The OS *after* XP is 
already approaching the end of the period when MS sells it.

And again, confirmation bias. I've noticed a tremendous improvement in how 
long I can go without rebooting things.
