While running Windows software updates and program installs on the 6 dozen iMacs in my University's labs, one in five would blue-screen during the 5 hour upgrade process after imaging. This was Windows 7, and it was this year. Admittedly, the blue-screen rate is better on Win7, but I wouldn't call 1 in 5 to be non-existent nor would I dismiss others' reports just because you've had good luck with your hardware and drivers.

As a cyclist, I can say that many of those swerves are to avoid road conditions that would send us over the handlebars and under your back tire. Our bikes aren't designed for potholes, grape sized rocks, man holes, and large cracks. Sure, we can buy bicycles that can handle some of those obstacles, but imagine having to push your SUV up a hill as opposed to pushing you porsche.
