I want to find out how many shutter actuations my Canon EOS 40D has. Is there a way to read the shutter count from the camera, and what software can do it on Windows or Mac?

If you're on a PC, you should be able to use EOSInfo which supports retrieving the shutter count on cameras using the Digic III and Digic IV processors (except the 1D range). If you're on a Mac there is an equivalent tool

Yes. The Canon EOS 40D’s shutter count can typically be read using third-party utility software rather than from the camera’s menus.
A commonly recommended Windows option is EOSInfo, which supports Canon cameras that use DIGIC III and DIGIC IV processors, including the 40D, though not the 1D series. On Mac, there are equivalent utilities that can read the same information.
In practice, you usually connect the camera to your computer by USB, run the utility, and it reports the shutter actuation count.
