All my windows machines have NO problem with playing flash, and don't crash when viewing flash etc. Not to mention windows has to work with a shit load of more applications, devices, drivers, while being non proprietary and still we have to listen to the mac fan boys banter...
Well, if you download Flash, you have to download the version corresponding to your OS. Which means, Flash out-of-the-box is not platform independent. Linux had to wait quite a long time for Flash.

So, maybe Adobe just put more effort/manpower into the Windows version because of the much larger user base?

I ain't no Mac Fanboi, but business logic says that you put more effort into what is going to give you the biggest user base
