Yep, Microsoft and Adobe are the two worst makers of Apple software when it came to crashing the system, partly thanks to Adobe stupidly using Microsoft libraries to make it easier to port their software from Windows. Of course, many people will tell you that System 7.5 itself was the buggiest of the now-Classic Mac OS versions, but I never had any real probkems with it that weren't directly related to Microsoft or adobe products.
