That's another point Im going to mention to them as well.

I have clients who run AS400's as transaction servers and every night =
they perform scheduled reboots on the OS to keep them in top shape. So =
its not just a MS thing.

In fairness, memory leaks can be in the domain of applications.

I'd agree, that poor garbage collection could be a cause, and that =
Microsoft
*applications* can be as guilty as any other - but you've only to look =
at

solely
a Microsoft, nor an OS thing.
