I have had more BSoD equivalents on Linux than I have on windows. Just try and get multiple displays to work. Just try to install Linux on a computer that has a Nvidia 5500 FX video card (PCI). In fact, just screw with a couple config files trying to get it to display on your LCD with the correct resolution.
Oh, and on my laptop, I get a boot prompt, and if I hit enter to soon on it, there is a kernel Panic.
Now, on Windows the last time I got a blue screen of death was back trying to set up Windows Server 2000 and being a genius I tried to force install the wrong drivers for a sound card.
I cant speak for Mac but I use Ubuntu Linux and windows regularly and I have to say for everyday use I have gotten many more hard crashes out of linux than windows.
Now before you say, "blah blah shouldnt have screwed with config files blah blah" I want to point out that in windows YOU DONT HAVE TO SCREW WITH CONFIG FILES to get the same things done. I want dual monitors? check the little box "extend monitor to this screen" set my resolution and I am finished.
