I said, "Microsoft wants...as few bugs as possible", not "there will be no
bugs."

I can only assume he has an unauthorized copy.  You didn't say where he got
it; are you saying Microsoft has started shipping Win 3 to Switzerland?

Yes, any big program has bugs.  Win 3 will have bugs.  But according to
everything I have read or heard, the sole reason for delaying the shipment
of Win 3 is to make sure there are as few bugs as possible.

The sooner Microsoft starts shipping Win 3, the sooner it will make money
from Win 3.  Microsoft has no possible motive for needlessly delaying shipment,
or shipping Win 3 only to, say, Switzerland.
