The buggiest operating system is without a doubt *nix. If you count the sheer complexity of making thousands of packages cooperate with eachother. Every single one of which is from a different developer. Sorry *nix fans, but you're using the most buggy operating system ever. I assume the 2nd vote for Windows, thus far, is Ravish.
Barcode, other than your own opinion, which as far as I can see isn't even there as it was requested by Ravish. What makes you believe Windows is? Until I see some opinions of your own, wouldn't it be safe to assume that you're a sheep and just say what everyone else says. When you look at WindowsXP, you are looking at literally one of the most powerful, versatile, fastest, most uber kernel's ever made. You have no idea how powerful the WindowsXP kernel is.
Of course, we aren't talking the power of the kernal are we? We're talking which is the most buggy. I'm very OS neutral and I believe that gives me a unique perspective in this matter. I see the best and worst of both operating systems. I don't even believe that possible to determine. If you name any operating system you believe to be the best, I will point out that nothing is perfect. Everything has issues and there are ZERO exceptions.

Well, WindowsXP is an incredibly powerful, robust and quick operating system. The WinXP Kernel is one of a kind and can actually be faster than any *nix kernel you see if the right things are done to it. Currently it's a terrific system and Microsoft has really struck gold. In a short few words...Linux/Unix just lacks the refinement that Windows and MacOS provide. That is their greatest downfall and I believe neither Linux nor Unix stand a chance hitting it big in the home market without that refinement.
The harsh reality in the corporate world can be summed up thusly: 1.)Once you are the top dog, you will not have a moment of piece. 2.)Your competition is nothing but a pack of rabid wolves. You can count on but one thing from them...they'll always be ready to take any scrap from your table and rip it to shreds over and over until every drop of blood from your rotting carcass is spoken for. 3.) Maintaining the top dog role requires some business tactics that the rest of us may not agree with, however, time and time again have proven effective.
I'm sure you all have heard the saying, "There is no such thing as bad publicity." You will all agree with me when I say that Microsoft gets shot by a firing squad every single time something bad happens. However, I feel that Unix/Linux should get the same treatment at times. RedHat gets the same treatment, which is good in my opinion...but we all know that the top dog will always be the first to be publicly humiliated in a carefully orchestrated attempt to gain any market share.
In reading the comments by xception, I would like to know if ya'll want my honest evaluation of MacOS X and the hardware. I will not go into depth here since it would be terribly off topic from the rest of my post.  Most of your arguments are valid, however, the above is a statement you can't argue with...some food for thought. You all have a terrific day.
