Service pack 3 you say?  And how many security updates have you installed?  Would you be effected if I told you that all the service and security pack updates do really is give MS more control over YOUR computer?

You will have to eventualy.  Windows is incapable of managing memory effectively so eventualy, Windows will clog up the RAM and virtual memory so bad that it won't have enough to run.  It WILL crash.   It's only a matter of time.

And don't get me started on the technicalities of this.

i have the same os on one of my machines. i also screw with it to the fullest extent possible. i crash it all the time. i also have to reboot regularly. i also have very modern hardware that windows detected automatically so i know its m$ friendly. all i can say is you must be 1 of 2 things. 1: not really pushing your machine beyond text files. or 2: Dont know how to push the machine. i do extensive audio and video editing as well as heavy 3d rendering.(ya i know tux g's  i am in the process of tranfering over to the light)

p.s. i know its not much of a flame but im just not a flamer.

Windows isn't designed to have large uptimes. Windows 2000 only delays the time when it's gonna crash.

Windows will always fucks up, so you'll have to re-install eventually.

i am having a really hard time taking you seriousely. Windows 2000 is the most stable windows, but it still very crash prone. If i dont restart my machine, after about a week of using it, i can barely open a small word file, let alone actually use it. windows is crap. You must not actually be using the computer.   :rolleyes:

I've had Mandrake 'bout a week, and it's already completely frozen one, and slowed to an unmanagable pace twice.   :rolleyes:

OSX has NEVER EVER crashed, fooked up, or generaly misbehaved on me since I began using it as my main OS.

That, as they say, is that.

My Red Hat 8.0 box has been up for 465 days straight now. Look at the uptime at the bottom of the page:

I have kernel panic'ed OS X.2 a few times.  and then once i crashed cuz of my cpu temp (so i added a fan).  OS X is stable, but not as stable as linux or freebsd.

I've kernel panic'ed X.2 myself once but I have to admit that I really gave it a hard time.   :D   However, I have to say (judging from my own experience) that OS X is as stable as Linux.
