Not to be an MS apologist, but bad drivers can crash any OS.
In Linux for example, time critical parts (eg. ISRs) will typically reside in kernel space. So if your driver has some bug (ie, makes a blocking call), you'll crash.

I guess the point I was getting at (which, on rereading my post didn't really come through at all), is that they seem to be blaiming other software developers without actually defining how they attributed said crashes. Perhaps it's outside the scope of the article, but I'm just a touch dubious of an article in which MS blaims others for their OS crashing. Doubly so when they don't provide much more than a pie chart to back that up.
