That's all apple marketing.
OSX can get viruses and at a security conference it was even hacked significantly faster than Vista. As far as crashing more than windows I have never had xp crash once in the two years I have had my laptop.
I have used osx before and it feels like an average linux distro. Ubuntu is a much better alternative to windows in my opinion since it is free and can run on any system. Plus with compiz ubuntu looks better than osx or Vista.
Have you ever owned an Apple laptop for an extended period of time?
Over the course of 3 years my iBook never once got a virus, never got infected with spyware, I didn't run any Anti-virus on it, and Spybot and Adaware were things I had never even heard of.
Nobody is saying it is impossible for this happen, but the people who write these malicious bits of software target the majority, not the minority and because of this nobody wastes there time on Viruses for OSX or Linux for that matter.
Also you really can't compare OSX to just another Linux distro, it is a much better supported, easier to use, and idiot friendly OS than any Linux distro will ever be.
Don't hate on something just because something exists that you think is "better", doesn't mean it's bad.
