One thing I haven't seen mentioned is where those bugs are located. I really doubt that all 65,000 of them are in the IP stack, so where else? Well, Windows being "integrated" with all sorts of "unlinkable" applications, it's probably the case that a decent number of bugs are in the apps that come as part of Windows.
Imagine how many might be a result of inextricably tying IE to Windows...
Why not the now-mature MD platform? There is both data and audio versions, and you can cram about 140MB onto a single MD (that's 74 minutes of ~MP3 quality audio; I can't tell the difference from CDs). Plus MDs are pretty cool in their own right, and the media is about $2.50 each (US) for audio.
Still, I like the idea of an all-in-one for ease of carrying, but I hate the idea for reliability. I'd hate to have to work on my PC without music playing...

If you can find it, the PBS "Great Performances" presentation of the Psychoderelict live show is *much* better than the album.
