Alternatively:

SELECT TOP 1 login_time FROM master..sysprocesses (NOLOCK)
ORDER BY login_time

Since I've noticed that on some of our SQL servers spid 1 is not the longest running process!

How, I don't know! Maybe someone more knowledgeable can explain

There are many ways to skin a cat:

This is my way:

select crdate,[Name] from sys.sysdatabases where name = 'tempdb'

Why does this work?
Well... every time you MSSQL Starts, it recreates the TEMPDB.

And it looks like like the tempdb is created even sooner than the first process (at least it is on the couple of instances I tried). YMMV
