You don't count bugs unreported by Microsoft. When their programmers work on a new patch, don't you think they encounter and have to deal with many bugs before it is posted on their update site?
If you fix 99 bugs in one day, it allows you to go back and fix that old bug posted 2000 hours ago, and still beat that 24 hours/bug average.
As their patches become increasingly complex, you can expect them to deal with 1000s bugs per day, thus bringing the average to under 1 hour/bug.
