System Information - UpTime

Question

Back in the Windows 98 days in the System Information utility it would tell you how long your system had been running since it's last startup/reboot. I can't seem to find anything similar in Vista. I'm sure there's got to be something like it, right?

Thanks but I don't use any of that sidebar stuff. I'm really surprised they took the info out of the main pain of the System Info util....

A little poking around Google on my own answered my own question:   Right-click on the Taskbar, and click Task Manager. You can also click CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to get to the Task Manager. In Task Manager, select the Performance tab. The current system uptime is shown under System.

I found a couple solutions searching through Google, a couple had you running things from the command line that gave too much info and it was just a pain to get to. This is much easier. Though I do miss it being in the System Info doodad.
