The reason for the original poster picking on Windows is that Windows, in most folk's experience, has to be rebooted frequently because of error accumulation. In other words, I could leave my Win98 box running (with no additional applications up) for 12 hours and when I came back it would be locked up. This isn't about shutting down during upgrades or installs, it's about shutting down because of frequent OS corruption during everyday use. In this case, you *need* memory to clear itself out.
