i think the same could be said about windows, i've used my win xp for almost a year now and have uninstalled stuff and reinstalled stuff, but rarely have had any crashes at all, as long as you scan for viruses and defragment once in a while it's fine
If your an experienced Unix user than your box should have no problems at all. I still get the blue_screen_of_death every other time I install a program on my XP system.
Professional Windows User; how in the hell do you become that?!
Ive been using Windows XP for a long time now, upgraded from win 2k without a format (frist time ive ever done that), I figured it would be really unstable because I dident format, here we are a year later on the same pc, thats had many programs installed and un-installed and re-installed and XP has only crashed once.
Im not much of a Microsoft fan, but I have to admit, XP is the best OS ive ran so far (yet to use os-x tho, need to find the money for a mac frist).
If your an experienced Unix user than your box should have no problems at all.
I'd say I'm pretty expirenced, I use both UNIX and Linux and 99% of the time they cause nothing but problems, and its not because I don't know how to use it, I clearly do.

I've had Windows 2003 for a while now. Before Microsoft released the free version on their site. Can you honestly say, after viewing my screenshots, that you DON'T like it? I found it to be very stable, just like my windows 2000. I've had it for over 2 years and it hasn't once crashed and i have never gotten the blue screen of death.
The whole sarcastic attitude against windows is mostly adopted by kiddies who can't form an opinion for themselves. They hear people say it, so why not?
I work casually and professionally with Windows and have developed in many languages on pretty much every major platform. Think again before you call people like myself "kiddies."
