wow - I don't know if this was a troll, or a cry for help.

Silly me, I _stopped_ using non Linux operating systems 
entirely after 1995, when I did a costs to rewards analysis on 
what I was paying to stay with a proprietary vendor's 
operating environment and tools.

I can crash Linux systems from time to time (I have not seen 
Bigfoot in the wild yet; only the family cat, which also bears 
that name), but the cause of such crashes are able to be 
found, and the offending code reverted away.
