If they're rebooting their servers daily, they're doing something seriously wrong!
Not at all.
*Microsoft* actually recommends that Windows-based servers be rebooted daily.
They started recommending this during the NT days, in order to improve "overall server stability". The recom continues today: just last week, a MSgeek showed one of my clients a new two-page MS document that said that his new server should be rebooted every day. It listed everything from general reliability to network performace as reasons.
Let's face it -- "secure" and "reliable" are just not in the top 100 reasons IT folx put Windows on servers.
