Never has been for me, and I use it for heavy gaming and lots of media. In the last 8-10 years, there have been probably about a dozen instances where a larger issue was caused by Windows and not GPU drivers, bugs in games or shoddy coding on websites.
The whole "Windows is unstable and too prone to viruses" is a myth perpetuated by Apple fans and others who don't know how to use a computer without messing it up.
My mom's laptop is utter chaos at times, her and my sister install everything and agree to everything and don't keep anything up to date. They also allow small children to use it, which doesn't help. I've never had huge issues with Windows since Windows 98, besides the annoying UI changes made to Windows 8 on my laptop, that is.
