Michael,

I'm sorry, but that's just a cop-out in my book.  Just because something is
"designed for desktop and small business server use" doesn't mean that
it can't be designed correctly, without memory leaks, with proper
privilege separation, etc...  Being for desktop use does not in any
way at all preclude making something stable.  Microsoft has brainwashed
people into thinking that rebooting is normal, but it is not.  Having to
reboot shows that the operating system is not well built.
