[QUOTE="nko, post: 7927"] I've heard of Windows XP never crashing on people, so stranger things have happened :) Kernel panics have only happened to me twice when I was doing nothing noteworthy at all (surfing with Safari, Mail in the background, though the SETI@HOME thing was running in the background) and once while doing the standard updates. For that last one, I think it's acceptable for a system to be temporarily unstable if it's being both used and updated at the same time. So it's not like it's a BAD track record.
