I disagree with that, to a pretty fair extent.

It's one thing for you and I as MIS professionals to be able to crash an
OS (whether it's Win95, NT, OS/400, whatever).  In this scenario, we
simply know enough about it to push the right buttons.

It's entirely another when end users, through normal operations of a
word processor, spreadsheet, VB app, or similar software, cause an OS
crash.  In this scenario, which occurs daily and ubiquitously (sp?) on
Win95, I place the blame squarely on the OS.  I don't have any hands on
experience with NT, but from everything I read, it is only marginally
better than Win95.

IMHO.
