The only crashes I've had with PS have been due to dodgy filters or
twain drivers, without any 3rd party crap it's incredibly stable for me.
Acrobat is a bit flakier. Flash has crashed a few times, as has
dreamweaver. If Im using MS Apps, it varies, Word is the worse with a
1 crash every 3 hours average, Access is a bit better, Excel I dont
use enough to comment. IE is fairly flaky too, although that might be
down to 3rd part addons as well.
