Mainly because we don't really need to run all the life support applications that a Windows machine needs. And the ones we do, well we can re-nice those so they don't interfere with daily operations. CRON is easy to use and a great tool as well.
But as for the desktop getting to the same state as a Windows machine? I don't see that happening. As it is I have desktops that get pounded on daily that are up for months at a time with no significant performance degradation. And I am not alone in this with Linux desktops.
