Actually, win2k/xp is supposed to be much better than the win9x's/me. Even from first-hand expierience I know this. The compie that I use as my web/ftp/mysql/counter-strike server uses win2k. Left the thing on for more than two, three weeks without a reboot and with moderate usage - it was just fine.
But then again, in February or sometime around then, I remember reading on Slashdot a Microsoft memo where Chairman Bill said something like during the entire month of february (maybe march?), no new code will be developed and all time and resources will be directed to improving flawed code. Something like that is never a good sign
