You are a simple man aren't you!?
The install base of Linux, *BSD and UNIX far exceeds your precious windows in mission critical and highly visible target environment. Don't believe me, go to netcraft and take a look at how many systems are running Linux then use that feeble ramaining brain cell and think about your last statement.

Now if the security on the *NIX systems is so poor then why are we not seeing failures across the internet? 60-70% of the worlds internet is run from some form of UNIX, a very tasty target indeed.

And as far as Grandmas unpatched WinXP box, well shame on her Grandchildren for not helping to protect her, shame on the store that sold her the system without ensuring it was up to date and then setting her system up to automatically update itself, and shame on Microsoft for deploying poor security... again.
