"On average in open source, there is at least one kernel patch every month and you have to reboot those systems."
Well it depends on the patch.. Also how may of the kernel patches are for remote exploits compared to windows?
Let make the perception as clear as possible, shall we.. Not obfuscate the issue so it tilts to your side.
I count six "local" kernel exploits for the SuSE linux kernel since 1/2004. And no remote kernel exploit patches. All the remote exploits were for non-kernel programs/products.
