Kindly point out a completly bug-free operating system available today, and I'll kindly point out that you're dreaming.

What do you think the 11 released of OSX are? They release a product, learn from a wide customer base about required modification, enhancements and bug fixes required, then release a new version, and the process repeats.
In the linux / open source world, the software is costantly being tested and evolving. Each new version release contains a bunch of fixes, refinements etc.

That's the life of an operating system. If you're expecting a perfect piece of code, I'm afraid you'll always be dissapointed no matter what OS you run.

Just be thankful that Microsoft offers their service packs for free.
