thats one way to look at it. The other is that you only know of the bugs because of the internet. Older software could just have as many bugs and you never see any of them because you didn't experience them yourself, now they're published on the net, people spread the news about them and you find out about them that way.

Also, software has become much bigger and more complex, things like multi-core CPUs add a whole new dimension to bugs being introduced, it's pretty hard to make something commerical and 100% bug free
