So far I haven't heard anything to prove that flash is buggy on anything except MacOS. I haven't ever had a flash problem with Windows and Firefox - but what do I know.

It isn't only Flash - it is any system which provides a layer of abstraction between the OS and the app. Other examples include Java and .NET
