Are you kidding me? Now honestly I've been able to keep winNT boxes up 
for a couple of weeks. (as long as they were only servers and didn't 
have to do any other applications). But I've *never* been able to keep 
*any* M$ box up for longer. I have to admit that I haven't tried win2k 
or XP because I gave up on M$ for any serious work awhile ago. Not meant 
as a slam. I realize that quite a few ppl do a lot of real work with M$ 
it just got to be too much of a pain for me. I'd be *really* interested 
to see an uptime of more than a month on a M$ box however.
