Scoble has a post up on why he hasn't hit a specific Tablet PC bug - he shuts down every night and restarts in the morning. Interesting - I used to do that with Windows boxes, but I haven't been doing that in awhile. I haven't rebooted this new laptop since I first set it up; I also left the old one running for days or weeks at a time. For all the crap I give MS, I have to admit - XP is a distinct improvement over their past efforts.

It's still not as impressive as Unix or Linux in that regard - the uptime on my office Linux server is currently 45 days (which is when the last power outage was). The server running this blog? 435 days - we have backup power for that one. It's nice to have stable systems.
