The only good argument I can think of for shutting down is if
you are running off batteries.  In that case, you'll use some
power if sleeping, and none otherwise.

I agree with the other posters that note there is no stability
reason to reboot.  Winbloze has gotten better in this regard
too.  I rarely have to reboot my machine at work more than
a couple times a day if I'm actually working on it.  My machine
that just does email frequently makes it a week before it
begins misbehaving in an apparently random fashion.  If
Microsoft made cars . . . .
