I'm not seeing these problem with X101P, nor does any of my (not so 
many) clients. And all that's boils down to is that: a. I'm lucky and b. 
I've have helped my luck by using only one card per machine, choosing a 
good MB and making sure the card don't share IRQ with anything.

But the point still remains - any software or hardware that needs to be 
rebooted every 3 days to work is broken and should not be used. Period.

If you use such software or hardware you should find out what's wrong 
and fix it or switch to something else.

The reason that the connection between "nightly reboots" and MS exists 
is because: a. MS users they can't fix it - it's propritery and b. MS 
users can't replace it - for a heck load of reasons not interesting to 
discuss now.

Basically what we're saying is that "nightly reboot" is simply not an 
option, except in MS shops, that for some reasons are willing to accept 
such low quality.

How and why this comes about is left as excersize to the alert reader... ;-)
