I see absolutely *nothing* in this article where MS claims that it's
"bug free." It says that it will have increased security and be more
secure than XP but it doesn't claim complete security.
While this is a nice attempt to move the goal-posts or change the
subject, neither of which have anything to do with the fact that both
SuSE and Ubuntu were shipped with known bugs.

Good. I'm glad to see that you agree that SuSE, Ubuntu and every other
distro gets shipped with known bugs. This means that OSS software is
also "deadline-driver rather than aspiration to complete and resolve
all /known/ bugs" because no distro or software product will hold up
shipment until ALL known bugs are resolved.
