Re: Anybody know the record for the longest an AS/400 has been contiuously up?

Current uptime of my EOL'ed model 250: about 9 months and my Citrix is 183 days.

On the office I've seen XP machines without updates with an uptime of
five years. Those are mostly machines attached to dangerous equipment
in the field, without any form of network connection.
(I work on a plant where they produce analogue film)

Our longest up time is on a PDP-11. That one ran for over 14y without
interruption/reboot.

Of course, this is true for any architecture/platform.
I was being "facetious" :)

However, acccording to the Microsoft release timeline:

Win2K and WinXP were dominant 10 years ago and I have never
heard of one having anywhere near that kind of uptime,
unpatched or not...

Any box can do this if you don't patch it.

Yes, that would be interesting.

The subject line says it all.
