Umm.. if this so "anonymous reader" is serious, he isn't paying attention.
I don't see anyone claiming the Linux always crases. Linux *APPLICATIONS*
tend to crash a lot, especially the GUI stuff (not so much with the server
apps.. in fact, i've only had Apache crash on me a handful of times in the
last 8 years i've used it).

I haven't seen him say that, but i'm sure he's referring to the apps, which
are often of beta quality. If I had a dime for every time i've seen the
KDE crash dialog, i'd be very rich (I don't use Linux that often on the
desktop).

What the heck is "Adobe Professional 6.0"?
Good job, Roy, but you have been unable to shake your normal writing style
and tone. I suppose you'll claime you 'reworded" his comments to mask his
style or some such bs.
