Up Time

[Ross Payne]

I got a new machine with XP a couple of weeks ago. On my old machine, with
WinME, I rebooted each morning in an effort to cut down on crashes. With XP,
is there any reason not to keep it up (without rebooting) for days or weeks?
Thanks,

Go for it! Personally, since hibernate works so exceptionally well in
Windows XP (finally!!), I use hibernate to power off the machine and then
return to the same prior computer state in moments when I return.

None I can think of. Unless you're sleeping in your office and the
noise from the fan is bothering you.
