It should make no difference at all. Most computers are replaced by the time any sign of degredation would occur. I still have a computer from 92-93 that's been turned on and off everyday up until a few months ago and it never showed signs of degradation.

I manage a network of approx 400 PCs and 100 Macs.
MOST of our users power off at night, and on the next day.
.......
Of course MY servers are on 24/7, they are also on a buildingwide UPS.
There isn't a noticeable difference in failure rates.

No difference in the failure rates of workstations and servers? I manage 6000 workstations and 212 servers. My servers are much more stable than the workstations.....

So when I want to use my pc it better be ready. I won't change my ways until PC's are like TV's where it a simple on and off none of that loading or booting up BS. So thankfully, soon my wish will be granted with the introduction of MRAM basically will replace your current RAM so that when you turn your pc off the information stays there so when you turn it back on it comes on imediatly.
