Only someone that has never worked on software would think that there could be a thing as bug-free software. A system like Windows has millions of lines of code and works on thousands of different hardware types with third party software and drivers. It is amazing that the thing works at all... but it not only works but it runs 20 year old software for the most part.
Compare that to Apple who has twice orphaned previous hardware and OS lines requiering rewrites for everything. Also, Apple controls 100% of the PC hardware... I don't know why there stuff is as buggy as it is.
