Good idea. I've pretty much worn out the power switch. Windows ALWAYS

should be rebooted after updates, I think, because the MS engineers

just don't understand how all the caching and retained-in-memory.-DLLs

and write caching and such actually work in the real world of

heterogenous machines, OSes, etc.

The biggest problem with this one is all the background processes.

With a high-end processor, too much RAM and HDD, the machine loads

~100 processes at startup, and stuff starts updating and caching and

so forth. Without digging into the Task Manager, there's no clue to

the operator that anything is happening other than the machine is

really slow and unresponsive.

One of our clients calls after every second Tuesday complaining the

app fails on startup with an "goDataManager is not an object error"

message, despite the fact that we've told them for 10 years that means

a network share is disconnected, and they should go into their Windows

Explorer and click on the red X's
