I remember working at a rather large company (that you've heard of) in the 90s. It was a guy's sole job to reboot all the NT server every night for stability.

I remember working at a rather large company (that you've heard of) in the 90s. It was a guy's sole job to reboot all the NT server every night for stability. A common practice (I believe from MS) was to have C: dedicated to your OS and D: dedicated to everything else. The logic being: a rebuild would be a lot less complicated. Ah the good ole days. FWIW, I usually do a complete Windows reinstall every 6 months or so.
