I will probably never know how long my XP machines could stay up because I'm
away
from home a lot and shut them down. I've used XP to host various things since
at
least 2003 and never had a problem. I used to run some popular web sites back
in
the day on a dial-up connection. For my important stuff (PBX, Email), I host on
Windows 7.
