I don't think you're odd at all.  Like you say, I don't reboot my
desktop that oftern, and I reboot my main home file server even less
often.

My work laptop is WinXP (soon to be Vista... sigh) and while it
suspends ok, the hardest part is the wait for the wireless network to
come back up.  :]

But, on the other hand, I can understand wanting to have a quicker
bootup time, since turning the system *off* saves more power than
suspending, and suspending is still a black art.  Every week or so my
WinXP box loses it's mind and I have to reboot no matter what.  It's
not simple. 

Cheers,
John
