That's not a problem with the installer. If you install a program that requires a device driver, you will need to reboot, although this has become a lot better. In that regard, Linux is vastly superior and the whole reboot thing is really aggravating on Windows. I honestly seldom have issues with things staying in the taskbar or icons remaining etc... that usually happens if you create links yourself. The windows installer isn't perfect, but to me, it's pretty much the same as the package manager.

Then again, I usually install programs from the terminal on Linux anyway.
