The Vista restart manager is a feature that applications can use to have
the OS restart them without loosing data, i.e. close and start again to
the same state they were before so the user doesn't have to open all the
documents manually again.
But if an application doesn't use those restart manager API's, the
restart manager can't do anything.
Which means from an installer point of view, the restart manager is
pretty much useless for the next years. Only when most applications make
use of it, *then* we can have this discussion again.
