To me,
all the stories say the same thing:
Machines set up once, left as servers, and never touched tend to
carry on
running for long periods.
Machines used as "client PCs", with regular new downloads installed
(only
if just controls within web pages), or with new "test" software tend to
crash
regularly.
Note
the complete absence of "on Windows", or "on Linux"... both have the same
characteristics as above :-)
