I've never had a kernel panic under OSX and I never saw the 'bomb' message under OS9. I know they can and do happen, but I don't think statistics would bear out any claim that OSX is equally as crash-prone as Windows in its various incarnations.

Interestingly I never said it was. But equally a claim that it 'just works' is also false
Perhaps it just works 'most of the time' may be more accurate.
