Are Mac uses especially prone to going long stretches between boots? When supporting Sibelius, the music score publishing program, it always seems to be Mac users who have to be recommended a cold boot when random and bizarre glitches appear. And I think Mac has a special utility to fix when the system loses track of its fonts, something that just doesn't happen on Windows.
I have to say the only time my Macbook gets rebooted is when there is a system update, other than that it just sits sleeping. To be honest I have never noticed any problem that has necessitated a reboot, but I am not a heavy user so that might be a factor.

As you say a SSD does make a big difference. One of the reasons I went for the Mac is that it comes with a SSD as standard.
