Windows Early adopters of Microsoft's new Vista operating system are reporting problems with its implementation of IPv6, a long-anticipated upgrade to the Internet's primary protocol. "Vista is showing some serious deficiencies around IPv6 and IPv4 insofar as their compliance or the transparency of their compliance around IP behaviors," says Loki Jorgenson, chief scientist for Apparent Networks, a provider of network assessment and optimization tools.

You wanted someone to list an O/S that secure and is not buggy.
How about these two for starters.

Z/OS
OpenVMS
HP Non-Stop

Ok, they are not PC Operating Systems but they just work and often for years between reboots/ipl's.
The sort of things you can do with these two beauties ancient as they maybe, just make Vista look like what it really is "Looks Good, Tastes Good and by golly does you no good" to borrow heavily from an old advert for a famous Irish Stout.

OpenVMS clusterwide filesystem, rolling O/S upgrades in a cluster, diskless cluster nodes etc.
Been very secure for years. No usermode silliness here.

VMS is awesome. I love messing with it.

Isn't the uptime record for a VMS Cluster (not a single machine, but a *cluster*, so there was no downtime overall) like nearly 20 years?
