Hmmm.... sounds like vendors stole the usable ideas, and left the
rest. ;)

Hmmm....maybe you've had bad luck with Unix. This certainly doesn't 
fit with my own experiences with various Unixes, including SunOS,
AIX, SCO, Irix, and errr... whatever TI called their Unix that they put
on their long-forgotten workstations.

The only time we usually reboot any of our 20 or so Unix machines is for
power outages or hardware upgrades.

Can't argue with that! ;)
