Sure, but I don't think that's how johnd sees it. Do they even publish a bug list?

Please be more precise with "bug list". If a bug is defined as "Do errors occur when using Windows 2000 with existing software", the error list is pretty long compared to previous releases. Many things are due to the fact, that Windows 2000 introduces many new things that are not 100% backwards compatible. If you think about "errors, that makes Windows 2000 behave differently that it was supposed to", then the buglist might be looking fine, but that's not what people care about. This is also the main reason why Windows 2000 sales will not come before later this year: People want to see it work with their existing applications before they buy it.
