When did you last restart?

[phonemonkey]

XP Pro - Athlon 2600+ running @ 100% for 19 days straight now (Nero choked during a DVD burn and wouldn't let go of the drive). I usually get about 30-45 days between reboots unless I'm installing hardware or something.

Same, except mine was around 3PM when I woke up.

Not very long ago.

xcript@arkham xcript $ uname -srmpio; uptime
Linux 2.6.6 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
22:44:19 up 4:07, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.10, 0.09

I don't leave my box running whilst I'm at work as I'm afraid one of my cats will piss in the fan holes in the side.

This may sound silly, but he'd do it. He (Sleepy) seems to have it in for me at the moment.

If you're talking stability, there is no clear winner. Both XP and OS X are very stable. If someone builds a PC with crap components, stability will be compromised, Mac doesn't have that problem only because the important components (motherboard, RAM, PSU) are all the same in a given model of a Mac (no generics).

However, I have crashed OS X. I have never really crashed XP except when I was overclocking and got errors.

running XP- restarted yesterday but before that I was at 58 days

 

[boomdart]

not impressive, but 14 days so far. All I do is browse forums and check email...

AMD 2200+, 512Mb Corsair ValueRam running at stock on XP. I usually turn it off at night unless I'm downloading something, because it's only 6 feet away from the end of my bed. But, I left it on for the past few days and it's going fine. I don't have an uptime counter (other than my AIM online time, which occasionally crashes), so IIRC the last time I restarted was saturday night. But, I've left it on for 8 days straight with no issues before, and I could probably go much, much longer if I was so inclined.

Abacus running LEET Counter version 500BC has been on for about 1500 years.
