I think Win98 had a bug where it would crash every 45 days or so.
One thing I don't understand is this mantra about how long you can leave a computer up before it will crash or when you might need to force it down or reboot to get things running right again.
I often have to leave my pc on performing some very long tasks. I do not think I am the only one. Obviously you are not obliged to leave it on. But it is just good that when you have to, it wont fail. Once I tried to do something long with win98SE. I did not get any result from my task... I thing the blue screen of death is a result from Windows!
At a Novell conference a year or so back, they had contest to find longest running server. One of the longest running ones was one that had been up over 8 years and probably hadn't been seen in that length of time because it had been walled in and the only way they found it was pull on the wire... :-)) Most people turn off their systems off when they go home at night or go to bed and that does not qualify as a reboot. As a Network Administrator, I want people to log off and turn off their computers at night before leaving...

I do not want my pc to be forced to reboot when I do not want to. A car which can go for 30km with no stop is just good for you, but I bet you would be the only one. Tazio
