5 years is really bloody good. I have friends that need to format every 3 months. But they download hacks and malware :P

On my machine at home - I'm pretty sure I installed Windows when 7 when RTM - so that makes that install a whisker over 6 years old...
 
Machine 1:
OS: Windows 7
Date installed: October 2010
Problems: Motherboard is dying.

Machine 2:
OS: Windows 8.1
Date installed: September 2013
Problems: None besides being Windows 8.1, going to swap it over in December or so.

Machine 3:
OS: Windows 10
Date installed: Update from 8.1 the moment I got the machine. August 3rd
Problems: Windows start menu sometimes says critical error and I have to reboot a couple of times.

Machine 4:
OS: Windows 8
Date installed: Pre-installed. March 2013 -> updated to 8.1 the day it came out.
Problems: None.
 
Probably the longest install I ever had was a Powerbook G4 installed with OSX 10.3 as I recalled back in September 2005.

That machine was running that original install, although upgraded all the way to 10.5 until February 2010 when I left the company.

It also managed an uptime of 116 days while travelling on my back every day, which was only broken because I had to test an update.
