This article is pure FUD. The media has to dig up something to discuss to increase revenue, this is a fine example. It is no suprise that a product is released with bugs. Even with Open Source projects, each 'finished' update is released with Errata. I would imagine if you put the current Linux kernel under the intense Lab testing/stress you would come up with an unimaginable list of issues.
Most of these will be trivial, and only occur under extreme conditions. Some of them would be due to architectural difficulties. Some would be due to user error, design 'error', etc.
Microsoft did not release Windows 2000 as a busted flaky operating system. The company is smart, they know they have one hell of a Product and they know that we the public are going to love it. They would not release something so broken that they would have to invest more in supporting the product than profit would supply..
Nothing's Perfect. There are probably a bazillion bugs in it, A bazillion in Windows 98, A Bazillion in Linux, a Bazillion in FreeBSD, A Bazillion in MacOS. They exist, its part of Software. Too bad.
My Twenty Cents.......
