I suggest you read "Enterprise Mac Security: OSX Snow Leopard" to learn just how wrong you truly are. You'll learn first-hand about the major threats that Macs face. Crashing is far less dangerous than having your keystrokes logged and your personal info be stolen, or your Mac controlled remotely without your knowledge.
Oh, and the book I reference was written by Apple network infrastructure employees. And no, you wouldn't know. Not by a long shot.

@MaestroDraven until I started college, i was on PCs. I switched over to accomodate my program. While on PCs, i got viruses right, left, and centre. They stalled the computer, it crashed, froze, etc.
None of the above has EVER occurred with my Mac.
I think I'd recognize a virus if there was one present.

And how, pray tell, do you know that? Have you actually ran a virus checker to make sure? That's like saying, "I don't have cancer, but I've NEVER been to the doctor to find out!"
Here's a little tip: malware, trojans, macroviruses and rootkits are the #1 threats to the Mac OSX platform. 3/4 of them don't require ROOT access to work, and all of them can be running silently, right under your nose, phishing your info and logging your keystrokes without you being the wiser.

@ccaian1 I cannot see a Mac as "undeniably more fluid and stable" when I am easily capable of crashing the iMacs at my college by simply utilizing iPhoto or when I pull a flash drive out without first "ejecting" it.
In my own experience, Macs are the most finicky, fragile, and bitchy computers I've ever crossed.
If I were to do any of the aforementioned activities above (opening programs and pulling out unejected flash drives) on my Windows PC, I'd have none of those issues.
