I am now running XP SP2 on a HP dc7100 at work. The only time I
restart is when I end up with some massive memory leak on the app that
I am working on, and that is my fault. I have Win2k3 running on 2 host
boxes that was installed about a year ago. One has never been
restarted, the second was recently restarted due to a hardware
failure.

I also have 2 win2k boxes (only cause Sybase ASE 11.5 wont work on
2k3) which have not been restarted in about a year.

All of the above came from NT4 when the business moved. On of the NT4
DR machines has something like 7 years up the sleeve with no restart.

The biggest stability problems I have found are with 3rd party
software and drivers, not with the OS itself.


Now as or my home PC (XP sp2), well, that cops a flogging with all the
crap and trial software i install. It is pretty much flogged, but
still never crashes. Its getting slow, but once again that is all my
fault.
