In my experience, the most frustrating thing about windows is inconsistency.
On two identical boxes, problems will exist on one, but not on another. I've always assumed that since everything interacts, it is likely due to the order that patches are applied, in conjunction with the install of software, etc. Sometimes it works great, sometimes it doesn't. We have 2 SQL boxes. One needs to be rebooted weekly, the other, busier box, never really gets rebooted. Overall, it's always been a best effort thing, from what I've seen... Kev.
