I know thats a general attitude with Windows in general. It's also 
becoming a general attitude to lots of technical devices, like phones. 
Often it works to! Too many systems don't seem designed to stay running 
for a long time, maybe they have become slack in cleaning up, like 
memory management in some programs.
