And I managed to keep my W95 machine up for 10 weeks straight, with only minimal effect on performance.
Unfortunately, I have updated (and thus rebooted) too often on this machine to get anywhere near that!
Back to the original topic - I agree that a graceful reboot/reset to improve performance is a much more desirable thing these days, Windows is a lot more stable and there is nothing to prove!
Cheers,
