I like rebooting. If I make a large change, or an install, or uninstall....
in fact if I so much as touch the keyboard.
I reboot.
Do you?

So looks like we're in the same boat then! :-)
I still don't trust Windows to handle more than one change without a reboot. I've seen people cut corners and get their fingers burnt too many times.
I don't like rebooting, but often it's the right thing to do...
... unless you're one of those people who likes to do a Windows reinstall every three months (or weeks even.)

Only if I have to to make something work. When I turn the PC off at night I just suspend-to-ram.

I never reboot unless I have to, why waste valuable Find-A-Drug crunching time?
Shut down on a night, but no reboot during the day unless I have to.

Hello noce forum
Hello...
I only reboot when I have to. Otherwise my PC's on 24/7
*waves* - Hello
Reboot ? Nope - only IF I've installed new drivers OR windows has an update and requires it.
Very rarely I reboot due to "performance" issues and its running UD when not gaming
i rebot when it says " Would you like to rebot your PC " and thats it...... and when the stupid nVidia Graphics card drivers make your pc rebot.
Work PC, hardly ever. Software installations only. @ home tho the PC's usually off if i'm not there.

corrr..what a lot or variation.
I reboot, ......TiG never does...he makes Windows STRUGGLE till it bleeds before letting the poor thing reboot
I only purposely reboot if after installing something, a reboot is requied for that thing to function properly. By that I mean I will alway try it first, because they often lie.
YES, YES THEY DO! That annoys me so much. "You must restart your computer"... /runs program... clearly I don't need to restart my computer!
It's like getting one up on the guy who scripted the installer.

I have heard a few people in the past say that the more you reboot, the more you reduce the the lifespan of your hardware. I think due to the effect of the chips and soldering expanding and contracting as they heat up/cool down. Think there is anything in this?
One reason I reboot, apart from Windows being rubish at maintaining resources over extended periods and poor software/driver installations, is simply because of the effect on my electricity bill and the environment while I am not using it/hugging tree's.
