My desktop at work went close to 600 days without a reboot, but blown
transformer at the substation forced the issue :(

We regularly see uptimes over a year, but we tend to take them down
for maintenance issues more often than that if we can.

Our Windows server from what I'm told get rebooted once week whether
they need it or not, in the name of 'Preventative Maintenance" :)
