Yeah, I don't know where the Mac never crashes idea can possibly be coming from. I've had a PowerMac running OS X for five years and it crashes plenty. And I'm not even using it as my primary computer. On the other hand, until recently, I had a Vaio laptop with Windows 2000, which I dumped whatever software I felt like on it. and it never once crashed on me during five years. I'm not saying Windows is great. But my experience has never been that OS X is any better than Windows as far as crashing goes (Windows 98 was another story, but ever since then Windows is easily as stable as OS X). Right now I'm using a ThinkPad with Ubuntu and I have to say Ubuntu crashes more than Windows too.
