I think it's interesting you think Microsoft's track record is better for patches than Apples.
Considering the proliferation of known threats in the Windows ecosystem.

In theory Linux could be the worst considering situations where a whole package has to be removed before you can actually install something with support that is active. That's really RedHat's niche. Owning parts of RHEL that the package maintainers might not care to fix themselves.

Linux is good for stand alone systems and devices plus Web servers
Which was why Azure made a deal with RedHat.


The last 2 companies I worked for were 80% Windows hoping to be 50% Linux (50,000+ units in the data centers).
The costs are high and in Clouds: Windows doesn't like being shutdown without warning.
Microsoft has gotten better about this, and in fairness Linux is not perfect either, but still Linux is better at recovering from this.
