That's probably because who've been limited to 4 applications for 1.5 years.

VMS  : Yes
NT   : Yes
Unix : Yes
OS/2 : Yes
Win95: ARE YOU KIDDING!!!???

Do you really know much about various versions of the MacOS and their
relative stability?

If you run a clean System (minimal shareware extensions), the MacOS is
pretty stable (some OS versions more than others).

The MacOS is not as stable as NT or Unix,... but Win95 crashes ALL THE
TIME (much like a Mac can do if people go crazy with inits).  But to say
that it has "much better stability than any version of [your] MacOS" is
pretty foolish.
