software that works and works well does not crash
Software runs on an operating system. No software is un-crashable as it is also linked to hardware. No hardware is un-crashable.
hardware crashes - a proper backup policy makes that irrelevant to the organisation.
hardware failures != hardware crashes.
Failure of devices is an accepted fact of life - and is well quantified (or atleast supposed to be). But crashes due to buggy hardware is equally unacceptable.
Software that crashes and destroys data is unacceptable.
