Mystery explained: Why you have to reboot Windows so often
You know the drill: you’ve been using your Windows computer for a while when things start to go wrong. Your programs slow down, or you start getting inexplicable error messages. Your cursor lags, or when you move windows around they leave droppings on the screen. It’s that time again. Time to reboot.

Ever wonder why that happens? The answer may have been revealed in a 2003 memo from Bill Gates, who retired from Microsoft (http://news.zdnet.com/2424-3515_22-208816.html) on Friday.
