I would agree with you entirely, given their past history, but this honestly is astonishing. I've NEVER used ANY Operating System that hasn't crashed for this long - and most of the computers at my work are 16 Core, 16gb of RAM Xeon platforms on Supermicro boards. We didn't have to install a single additional driver apart from the graphics, and everything seems to work perfectly.

Not only that, but a lot of the programs we run are extremely resource intensive for prolonged periods of time (rendering @ 100% CPU for 8 hours + at a time, in some cases), and not once have they packed up.
