If you're going to even consider blaming widely-used software for hardware problems, then absolutely, yes, please do this, if only to stop the accusations. If you don't reboot regularly, now's a good time to change that policy, too. We aren't running NetWare 3.1 any more. No reboots = no patches. And of course be aware that many hardware problems only show up at reboot. The Intel Atom flaw being the most recent prominent example I can think of. -Adam
