Still, I stick by my argument that AmigaOS is *not* unstable. There is just a lot of crappy software written for it that causes it to become unstable (as there is on every other OS on the planet). There is also a lot of very high quality software that will run with no problems.
It is generally considered to be the job of a modern operating system to keep poorly written programs from bringing down the whole system. Amiga OS fails miserably at that. Sure if you load up an XP system with tons of viruses, spyware or shoddy drivers you can make an unstable mess out of it, but if Amigas were as popular as Windows PCs it would have the same problems (worse if things were as it currently stands since Amiga OS isn't particularly secure).
