There's always some issue on different machines. My system compared to other users is low end (running on 6800GS, Vista x64, 3gb ram, X2 5200+). But so far I have experienced only 1 crash and even that was because of some texture import (I can increase the poly count to the 'system slowdown' level and it never crashes).

So yeah, depends on how well you keep your machine I guess. That and the fact that some other software is screwing up your system in background. You know how much Windows loves background processes.

What I am saying is that there will be bugs and they can be fixed. Mudbox may not have 'everything' other apps have but at the moment, I don't see any other app that let me jump right in for sculpting and texture painting without learning some crazy interface and useless lingo (zBrush qualifies for both, it's like using Blender..).

Anyways, just a viewpoint from a new Mudbox user, so you can ignore it I guess.

PS: If it's Max we want to discuss, then 2009 never crashed on me so I can't discuss that.
