Microsoft is notoriously SLOW in releasing patches. Open source on a whole is patched a lot quicker than closed source. Being open, anyone can write a patch and get it out while Microsoft will take it's sweet time. Plus they normally distribute patches on Patch Tuesdays, leaving you vulnerable until that happens.

Your whole post was nothing but FUD.
