Highest I ever got was 2 weeks, I get that urge to install the up-to-date software and OS updates, so I have to reboot :( Two weeks is a long time to wait before i get my software installed. On average I do a reboot every single weekend for software installations.

Lovin' Win2k :D

My longest is of 6 Days. Have to reboot every week on a Saturday night/Sunday morning, which is some time now, so that the CPU can cool down and I usually do maintanance work to it on the next day to it.

36 Days, 22 Hours, 14 Minutes, 9 Seconds.

Windows XP Professional

Rebooted because of Photoshop 7.0 and new Norton AntiVirus program updates requiring me to restart the machine.

My longest uptime is 1 day... Because 2 years ago Windows 98 never shut down when i DID shut it down right (Shut down bug) lol, So it was basically an accident. :right: :s

Naughty boy, your OS must have been a huge security risk without any hotfixes or security rollup packages installed. and no firewall updates either? Long uptimes are bad, the longer it is, the worse it poses a security risk, don't just get long uptimes to show off your computer's reliability.

I was using Win2k when my computer can stay for little over 3 weeks and had to restart the computer because of Windows update.

please security updates. after SP1/2 there were no major changes, and firewall, its called hardware firewall.

i had ftp and web services up and i had no breaches or anything, no virus, no trojans, etc. perhaps im just lucky. but i really dont care if someone breaks into my computer and looks @ my essay's or photoshop files!!!!

my computer is as secure as i need it to be.

3 months, 2 weeks, 5 days and 20 hours :)

Seriously. Then VI (text editor) crashed and left a zombie process that i couldn't kill, so I said fux it and restarted the box.

Linux servers are big fun.

this is why linux rocks for servers. downtime on linux is for hardware replacement. It's a ***** to even TRY to take down :)
