You can run win programs under linux, but it is a pain in the ass and a newbie would have a very dificult time with it. I assume you're talking about WINE?
Getting Linux to crash really takes a bit of effort, I actually have never experienced a single unexpected crash with it in years of using it (ofcourse, when trying out new stuff things can go wrong, but that's far from the random bsod you can get in windows).
While there are security problems, security for Linux simply is much better than it is for Windows, and you know it.
Now, you can get Apache for Windows, but there isn't much point in using it. If you develop server apps for Apache, you'll use Linux anyway.
