NT isn't as stable as UNIX, but you  can get up to a few months uptime on a 
properly configured NT box, depending on what you're doing.  The other reboot 
problem is that many changes to the configuration require a reboot, unlike 
UNIX, which only requires a reboot if you do something fundamental and drastic, 
such as updating the kernel.

I wish you could kill the gui at times, and divert the resources to things 
servers should be doing.
