Depends on what you do and don't load up. Personally, I hate IBM's Warpcenter.
Without it, I have it looking just like Warp 3, but it performs great. I only reboot
if I make changes to my config.sys, or my startup file is too large
after having the ThinkPad on for about a week (I don't turn any
machines off here, so the power switch will get the least wear and tear).

Solaris? Nah...
Besides OS/2, that's the other OS I'm ALWAYS using (I leave NT on the floor cracking
RC5 blocks). And while my OS is old, there are SO many high quality apps for it
(at least the SPARC version), so I wouldn't say you HAVE to be stuck with Windows.
Plus, I've never had the whole system crash on me yet.
