not really, it all depends on the source coding, if it is very well made with a high itegrity, the Operating system is less likely to crash. If they spend a looooong time coding an OS with MANY fall-safe's and a hgih prevention of spyware and back-doors (or trojans) then it will likely crash very little...though the bigger the source the more CPU intensive it is.
