I have had a Gateway box in my home for over 3 years. I reboot on an average once a month. I leave it running all the time. I have had 0 problems with it. It has never required any servicing.

At work I am a QA tester. If I am not loading beta software I rarely have to reboot.

My question was aimed at the statement that PC's are shit. I have been working in the industry for 8 years and the stability of PC's has improved greatly. To say they are shit is an overstatement that I think is based on emotion and anecdotal information not facts. They are good devices that help people get more done, keep better track of what is going on.

Since everyone on the thread is bashing PC's I thought it would be interesting to find out how many were using them as opposed to a UNIX box.
