Tim Altman just wanted to file a bug report for Outlook (feature request actually) but all he got was a lot of hop-around from Microsoft's tech support, and got charged $35 for expressing interest in the product.

"9 out of 8...means 100% of the time. I think they call that a euphimism ;-). " not only it is not euphemism, it it bad mathematics.
euphemism - http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=euphemism
9 out of 8 means 9/8 = 1.125
Euphemism aside, if you put the number of bugs in perspective for example with the number of lines of code, or the number of MS employees, or average MS salary, or B.G.'s fortune, you could almost claim that MS products have no bugs.
You could also argue if a bug doesn't really bite, or you are not really aware that it bit you, does the bug actually exist? The answer should be no.
You could also take it a step further and claim that all those BSOD were actually illusions.
Now back to reality...
