I think that really says it all.

Who wants an OS in which you have to be careful what you are doing to
avoid crashes?

BTW, my comments were based not just on my own desktop but on our
entire Unit (30 or so Macs, similar numbers of Windows split between
95 & 3.1x, 4 Unix boxes, 1 OS9 system, 2 NT Workstation.  All networked,
network servers are Novell, Mac & Unix.  No NT or OS2 servers.)  Our
experience is overwhelmingly that MacOS is unstable, on both PPC & 68K
platforms.  Nevertheless I'm typing this on a Mac ....
