Linux security sucks too?

Just a quick poll, how many people have OpenSSH active? How long did it take you to upgrade? Are you aware that the MSBlaster Worm affected people who didn't upgrade months after the patch was released? Or what about how many people don't want to apply patches because it causes more problems? I have this theory that every OS has some bugs, and that maybe some OS are put into the spotlight because a certain evil corporation wants them to look bad. Anyone had a glimpse of a list of Mac OS X security updates? As long as it is, I'm not afraid to apply them and I do it as soon as possible.

Yup I've got openssh active, running a server.  Updated after a few minutes after the patch was posted.  

No curruption, loss, and/or downtime  :D

M$ IS YEARS BEHIND LINUX, But it supports gaming

Linux is more stable

SAJChurchey:
Actually the first instance of the bug was found in OpenSSL on Sept. 29, and on Sept. 30 OpenSSL released the patch.  It was patched up fairly quickly.  It would have probably taken a week or two for M$ to patch a publicly announced security bug.

I don't see any articles on how million of dollars was lost due to a vulnerability in linux exploited by hackers.  Until i see one, I'm assuming linux security is good, and far better than windows.
