Netcraft: Win2K site goes 2+ years without reboot
ENT News | at | by Mike
It was the dream of many a Windows NT 4.0 Web site administrator applying the daily or twice-daily reboot. A Windows 2000 system that would just stay up. This month in its monthly survey/ of Web sites around the world, Netcraft found a Windows 2000 site that hasn't needed a reboot in more than two years.
"This month is the first time that a Windows 2000 site has appeared in the 50 top sites which have the longest period of time since last reboot," Netcraft's monthly survey notes. "When we first started graphing web servers uptime in the summer of 2000, many people were skeptical that a Windows machine would ever make the top 50. Perceptions change, and although two years is exceptional, several Windows 2000 sites have run for more than a year without a reboot."
