Revolution unbooted

[Jon]

Mark:

I run my Windows XP box (and ran my Windows 2000 box) for 1-2 weeks at a 
time.  Eventually, something becomes unstable, and I have to re-boot, 
but often I only have to re-bot because I install a patch.  I think your 
pessimism about Windows (at least in this regard) is a bit excessive.
