The disk defragmenting utility is another story....Took me two days to defrag a 9GB drive on Win98,with several restarts. Several pauses while it writes to a log file, then restarts due to it's own "disk writes", even when nothing else is running! What crap! Any windows FS is garbage. I can run a workstation for years and never get any more than .1% frag. (I do think Symantec's speedisk works better for windows.)
As for slow reboots on UNIX systems...doesn't really hurt when you reboot once a year, or never.
I know companies who have IPX/IPC and older Suns that have never been rebooted! Used as a NIS or DNS sever. Maintenance? - just occasionally dust.

When an O/S crashes all the time, the vendor puts a lot of effort
into making sure the recovery utils work properly. REAL SMART,
don't you think, James??? I hear MSFT improved the boot time
of NT, as well.

You see, James, it doesn't matter how much MSFT spends on R&D.
Their entire operation from mgmt down to engineering have the
unique ability to bullocks up everything they put their minds
to.

cheers,
