That may have been true in 1995. However, in this day
and age most Windows fans don't see that their OS as
unstable because it isn't - unless of course you are
referring to the non-NT variations.
O.k. I don't want to start an OS war here. However there are a couple of things I know.
1. As of Windows 2000, Windows is reasonably stable. However there is a caveat, it still can not perform under load (read slowness, possible crash) like Linux or other UNIX variants can.
2. As of Windows 2003, Windows is very stable and performs fairly well under load. However it still can not keep up with Linux or other UNIX variants.
The majority of the problem with Windows in these days is people who hire other people with little pieces of paper that say they are knowledgeable.
A properly managed Windows server can be reliable, can perform reasonably well, if you have the expertise to do so. This is not that much unlike UNIX. The difference is that UNIX requires the expertise, Windows makes you feel like you have it when you don't.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
