Or, it could be because it's so bad...

True. But even the MS zealots agree that Gates' 48 hours claim is patent nonsense. They only release them once a month, fer chrissakes!
> Unfortunately for Microsoft they are in the spotlight, NOT linux, or others.
This lame arse excuse that MS zealots use to explain away their terrible security record, just doesn't hold water. Unlike other OSes, MS operating systems have a clear delineation between client and server versions. Their server versions are *not* the number one target when it comes to internet-visible servers. (They sometimes claim it, but again, they lie). Yet they still have more security problems even if only server versions are considered.
