I disagree with this.  I've been running Win98/2k and Linux for a lot longer
than 3 years.
All versions of windows have crashed on me for one reason or another on AT
LEAST a weekly basis.  The Linux boxes tend to run for MONTHS without a
reboot, and even then it's usually been caused due to a power failure.

But Bob, Linux doesn't have a registry.

Linus Torvolds obviously thinks the same way, which is why Linux doesn't
have a registry.
