I gave multi-monitor support as an example, as it has been one of the areas I've had the worst luck with in linux. I've had a version of Fedora that was completely unable to support connecting an external display to my laptop, as well as an install of Ubuntu that permanently stopped displaying anything after switching the multi-monitor mode in xrandr when the proprietary drivers were installed. I've also had many whole-linux-OS crashes as a result of fiddling with multi-monitor setups. This simply doesn't happen in Windows. I've had Windows gfx driver crashes, but the only time I've gotten a system freeze in Win 7/8 is when there were actually hardware problems (e.g. faulty gfx card, or overheating.)

Shrug, completely the opposite of my experience. I guess anecdotes can contradict each other. Though I wonder: are you using an ATI/AMD card on linux, and NVidia or Intel on windows? Thinking about it when I've had NVidia cards my windows drivers have been just as stable as my linux ones - and when I tried to use linux on a machine with an AMD card I did hit some hard lockups.
