I'd actually be quite shocked if I don't have some Windows boxes around
that have exceeded that (at least since NT5). I think I've kept my home
computer up longer (back when it ran W2K), and likely some lab machines
around work (which, granted, never have software or updates installed,
so no reason to reboot).
Of course, my Linux gateway at home says:
$ uptime
11:06:30 up 99 days, 13:35, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.05
