- By contrast, I've never seen a Windows machine perform well after being on for more than about 5 or 6 days straight; if it doesn't outright crash, it loses all of its memory and has to be restarted, PLUS it is susceptible to the same hardware lockups, power failures and crapplications as Linux is.
