That may be true.  I couldn't say.

But this, I take issue with.  Ext3 isn't unstable.  It may not be as awesome
as ZFS, but it isn't unstable.  And the same goes for all the other storage
and filesystems in Linux.

Years ago, when I first started using Gimp, it was stable in Linux and not
stable in Windows.  I went to gimp.org, and looked at the FAQ's, and FAQ #1
said "Gimp is unstable on windows."  And the reply was "Everything is
unstable on Windows."  Which was simply false.  It was a developer (or group
of developers) expressing a biased point of view, and blaming a platform
that they were not fond of.

In later versions of gimp, even on the same version of Windows, gimp evolved
into something that was stable.

To simply blame gimp, or simply blame windows, both positions are not
accurate.  The truth is, gimp was stable on linux, and other apps were
stable on windows.  The truth is, there was something unstable in the
interaction between the two.
