And likewise, I've upgraded two desktops and two servers and installed two fresh desktops, and they've all gone smoothly.

Not only did the upgrades go well, but they resolved several outstanding issues (ie. Dreadful performance with Intel gfx chipsets; a pci-express wifi chipset that crashed often on "noise floor calibration" and a realtek gigabit ethernet chipset which crashed whenever you transferred more than 10-20 mbyte of data.)
