A little over two weeks ago, Microsoft released Microsoft Security Essentials, a security software suite protecting users of Windows against malware and viruses. The company has released data about the number of downloads and fixed infections, and the results are encouraging.

My experience is the same. But lies 7 years in the past.
Had windows machines crashing on me, and I also had 2 Linux machines crashing on me, one of them brand new.
It turned out, with Windows it happened much more often, and >90% of the issues have been software related. With Linux, both crashing machines have been hardware faults (one memory/CPU and one graphic chip failure).
I am amazed, that you seem to have similar experiences with current windows systems, as the song on the street sings of the "great stability" windows now is supposed to have.
