The problem is home users are too lazy! If Linux has huge installed base, the same problem will happen. Worse, Linux has no automatic patching.

2003 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards Posted Nov 17, 2003 20:20 UTC (Mon) by elanthis (guest, #6227) [Link] Linux has automatic patching, if you (or your distro) installs it. There are plenty of tools around to do it for you, or even something as simple as yum update or apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade or up2date -u or whatever in a cron job (with a few options/command-line flags tweaked, I'd bet) work well enough, as well.
2003 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards Posted Nov 19, 2003 13:45 UTC (Wed) by ekj (guest, #1524) [Link] No modern Linux-distro is without automatic update-utilities. Nor have they, for aproximately the last 5 years. Get a clue. (hint: apt-get, MandrakeUpdate, up2date, yum)
