I have three machines, running FreeBSD, NT, and XP.  All of them will
run until I boot them.  They don't crash, or at least I can't remember
the last time I saw any of them crash (except for a hardware problem
that was crashing FreeBSD until I replaced the hardware).

All of these operating systems are rock stable when used and
administered appropriately.  I haven't had XP long enough to prove it,
but NT and FreeBSD will run for years without a boot in many cases.
