Shut Down Nightly vs 24/7 Studies?
Hey all,
I know I can be ad nauseum with this, but before I ask my question I just want, AGAIN to thank everyone here and the originators of this forum. The information has been priceless for someone who is just starting out with Windows 7 like myself.
Does anyone know of any true, experimental, apples to apples, studies that have been done, that would show any evidence whether or not shutting down a computer daily is better or worse than leaving it on and rebooting once a week or so?
I've read the threads here and although there seems to be more in favor of a nightly shut down, there still doesn't seem to be any factual evidence one way or the other.
From my own personal experience, I got 8 years out of a Dell PC with Windows XP, by shutting down at night, but I was just curious if MS or any other reputible outfit, has done an experiment/study thereof?
Thanks again,
Jack
