I recall OS 8 crashing often and loosing lots of work. Back then I was doing graphic design work and just getting into web programming. Photoshop, Illustrator and QuarkXpress all day with those apps crashing unexpectedly. MS Word for Mac was awful back then too. OS 9 was much better and Windows 2000 was actually really good. It's great that that sort of instability is a thing of the past!

"Save early, save often!" As another respondent also remembered it, I would probably get less than one crash a day. Windows 95 had it's own (multifarious) problems. I was maintaining servers with years of uptime and definitely looking forward to OSX. :)
