If user chooses something other than was preinstalled on his PC - he is at a higher level. Such user is curiuos about other chioces and he will search answers to his questions and learn.

Of course changing OS for dumb user and saying: "This is Linux use it and youl be saved..." won't help much. The user must want to learn by his own free will...
Influence of watching "Hellsing" lately ;)

About number of fixes. Number doesn't say much. Because:
* Typical "Linux PC" has much more software in the OS. So it require much more fixes.
* Lots of them aren't security fixes. It's just functional improvements. Compare "Windows update" content where almoust everytinh marked as "Security vulnerability".


PS Sorry for terrible English. Haven't practicized writing in English for long time. :(
