Re:Compiler bug? Linker bug? Windows Kernel bug by WalterGR on Monday February 26, 2018 @01:11PM (#16467478)
that OS shipped with 65,000 known defect

Issue tracking at Microsoft (and presumably all large tech companies) includes things like:

* localization errors

* typos in user-visible text

* suggestions for rewording user-visible text

* issues related to icons and other graphics

* issues related to sounds that ship with the product

* feature requests

* feature enhancements

* tracking tickets for work to be done or work in progress

* tickets for unverified, incorrect, and unreproducable bugs

So a. 65,000 tickets, not 65,000 defects. b. "65,000 tickets" is meaningless without knowing more about them.
