    What is the longest time you've kept your Windows 7 box on?

    What is the longest amount of time you've kept a windows 7 desktop or laptop on? I know, it's no linux but I would think it would be safe to leave it running for quite a bit without rebooting, right?

    A couple months. Usually by then it starts to get sluggish and stuff starts hanging.

      Usually the only time I restart my laptop is when there's an update it needs to be rebooted for.

        Only when the updates require it or when swapping hardware. Longest I did was 3 months recently. Surprisingly, that's very good for me.

                  The only Win7 box I have is my HTPC. Couldn't even tell you the last time it was rebooted.

                  Spend you some brain.

                              mine (and all the others at the office) is on 24/7, running Win 7 Ent x64
                              Updates are run every 2nd Tuesday of the month and normally cause a reboot
