I am actually running Windows 2000 on an IBM Thinkpad 600E, and I have never had a problem. I have run NT4 since it came out, and have had uptimes of nearly a year... on my home system! My boxes at work that I use for programming and web dev I've had up for 6 months at a time. My laptop has even run for almost a month without rebooting.. just putting it into power save mode(w2k supports this.) I think the problem with Linux people is they are unreasonable, or ignorant. If you want a nice Unix, use Solaris.
It also seems to me that the benchmarking routines should be doing something a little more complex than printing 'hello world'. In reality, the benchmark should be reading/writing to files, and pulling data from files to print to the screen. This would be more of a test than a stupid 'hello world'.
