The Airbus software won't let the pilot do anything that might break the
airplane. The Boeing software doesn't have the same limits.
I believe there are accidents attributed to both.
For critical systems, there are often two different programs, written by
different groups of programmers, either of which can "fly" the
airplane. The assumption is that they'll have different bugs.

I think there is a big difference in flight software. In Boeing airplanes
the pilot is assisted by software. In Airbuses the pilot is allowed to fly
the airplane if the software thinks he/she is qualified. There has been at
least one airbus crash blamed on software and several other questionable
crashes.
