You're joking, right? Microsoft spends the first several weeks to several months denying that problem even exists or blaming it on third party software before they even admit that there is a problem. The open source community is FAR more respsonsive to security threats. Open source does have its problems and they are not insignificant, but the time in which security stuff is being taken care of in open source is very impressive.
