Is windows that bad on memory leaks? The author seem to think so. I'm pretty sure a windows 2000 (haven't had an xp or vista box) box can stay up for a long time without need for a reboot if no experimental software/driver is running on it. I remember windows 95 used to crash after like 30 days (if I recall correctly, can't remember where I read that).
All windows before 98SE had memory leaks every time a new thread was spawned. Memory leaks in newer versions of windows are due to sloppy user programs (mainly handles that aren't released properly but a precise programming can reduce those to zero) and rarely bad drivers but the core itself is stable.
Mind you that isn't as bad as the fact that the new British carriers will use an ammunition handling system based on the baggage system in use at Terminal 5 :(
They forgot robots. Microsoft is actually marketing a robotics suite! Its almost too cliche to even mention windows running robots going beserk etc....
Oh god, I already trust Microsoft to slow down everything I do at home, but if my breathing apparatus in my hospital responsible for saving my life hits the BSOD, I am going to rise from the dead and eat some MS brains.
