If that were the case they would reboot weekly or daily not monthly :)

All kidding aside I agree with Tim, I have seen Domino stable on Wintel 
for close to a year before an admin rebooted just because. In cases I have 
seen where reboots became part of the routine, the root cause of the 
instability requiring reboot was usually not an OS or Domino fault 
(Sametime excluded that is another story). Rather it was usually a third 
party product such as a open file agent for backups causing a memory leak. 
Once the root problem was solved the routine is never changed and the 
unstable stigma of the platform is perpetuated.

That being said I still prefer iSeries as a Domino platform over Windows 
for stability, scalability, and security reasons.
