Is windows that bad on memory leaks? The author seem to think so. I'm pretty sure a windows 2000 (haven't had an xp or vista box) box can stay up for a long time without need for a reboot if no experimental software/driver is running on it. I remember windows 95 used to crash after like 30 days (if I recall correctly, can't remember where I read that).
- marcus 18y agoAll windows before 98SE had memory leaks every time a new thread was spawned. Memory leaks in newer versions of windows are due to sloppy user programs (mainly handles that aren't released properly but a precise programming can reduce those to zero) and rarely bad drivers but the core itself is stable.
- josefresco 18y agosshhh, you're not supposed to say things like that out loud. Windows = bad and it's all Microsoft's fault.
- gm 18y agoYeh, this is little more than a continuation of the "windows sucks" theme. not much to see here.
