My opinion is if it is Windows 98 or below, reboot daily.
If you are using ME, NT, 2000, then upgrade.
I only reboot my XP machines once a month or less.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Way Off Topic - Daily Boot

I am in a heated debate with a new fellow worker and I need some ammo 
on this one.

Sorry for the off-topic post...

I have always been under the assumption that it was harder on a 
computer to reboot it every day then to leave it running and maybe 
boot it weekly or monthly. Our company recently merged and everyone 
from the foreign company reboots daily while my people reboot only 
when necessary. One of the reasons for this is that I run anti-virus 
and other things at night while the computers are not being used.

All the other employees have been told to shut down their desktops 
every night. They were told to do this by a previous IT guy. I tend 
to disagree with this.

What do you think? Reboot Daily? or Only When Needed?

THANKS!
