No, I worked there. Trust me, the bug tracking database for any version
of windows is astonishingly full.
On a more serious note: Obviously all software has bugs. Period. The
only software that can honestly be described as truly bug free is the
most simple software with the least requirements. The Windows operating
system is not simple software with a low number of requirements,
therefore by definition it must be full of bugs.

Err, no ! I think you are referring to their feature-full software.

Look at the smiley face :o) I'm not knocking anything. Just saw an
opportunity to add a little humor. I guess a very little. If anything,
I'm poking fun at myself.
That being said, you can write buggy code in any language. Any syntax
or compile errors are usually fixed in the first five minutes. The
bulk of debugging is getting the code to do what you actually
intended. The computer can't read your mind, and humans are flawed, so
it would be a miracle if any program, of significant complexity, will
work "right out the box". Ask Microsoft. They ship buggy software, and
make a pretty good living off of it.
