I'm not fond of MS software or OS but since it's pervasive having a good 
system running it for compatability is handy.

The work a day box here is P166, 128mb 4.3gb, 20gb, SCSI CD writer(plextor)
running NT4server no MS apps though. All the apps are non MS including 
Firefox and Thunderbird.  Usual uptime for the system is months of 7x24 
then I shutdown to clean dust of of the fans and the like.  Reliability 
beats speed as reboots take a long time.
