Who said XP wasn't reliable?...

[ACC0RD22]

I only restart when I absolutely need to.

So far, Ive had it up for a whole month, and only restarted to update Quicktime.

lol NICE! my aim always crash in about a week lol. never have a reliable aim for that. but lately i think our switch is going out so it keeps crashing, so like every few days it reconnects.

I rarely restart. My computer does it on its own occasionally (reason unknown... power surge, program crash, etc... I just wake up to find all my stuff closed out!) I'm running XP. I do like 2k better, though.

Uptime has absolutely nothing to do with reliability. Get a laptop, and run it off the battery for 3 hours. Then I'll be surprised.

How do you get off saying uptime has nothing to do with reliability? Laptops are a whole other animal, so let's stay where we are at.

Essentially you are saying that the government networks having an uptime of 4 years indicates nothing of it's reliability?

Please use common sense. If your computer crashes every two days (uptime of 2 days) then your computer is clearly not reliable.

Please explain HOW uptime has NOTHING to do with reliability, please. I am curious...

uptime really doesn't have anything to do with reliability. Reliability is not a measure of how long the power stays on, its a measure of the probability the computer will do what its supposed to do, when its supposed to do it. Just because the computer is on, doesn't mean its going to do what its supposed to.

just grabbed the Uptime program, nice little piece of code.

14 hours. running XP pro all updates. But sometimes I try to move my tower and I get a BSOD . I'll just go to grab a wire and poof. that's what happened last night. I've had 2k and XP up for a couple weeks before. But sometimes an update or something requires me to restart.

I say uptime is just one aspect of reliability.
