You can't measure software quality by a number of bug reports. For  
example, GCC bugzilla contains more than 5000 bug reports. Does it mean  
anything to you?

Number of bug reports may only indicate how large user base is, not how  
buggy it is. You must know that there is no software without bugs.

An introduction to "Applied Microsoft .Net Framework Programming" by  
Jeffrey Richter contains the following section that I'd like to quote:

"""

This section's title clearly states what I want to say. But we all know  
that it is a flat-out lie. My editors and I have worked hard to bring you  
the most accurate, up-to-date, in-depth, easy-to-read,  
painless-to-understand, bug-free information. Even with a fantastic team  
assembled, things inevitably slip through the cracks. If you find any  
mistakes in this book (especially bugs), I would greatly appreciate it if  
you would send the mistakes to me at: ...
