While I agree on all OSes being exploitable and therefore on despicable "smug Unix weenie attitude", I still think that while *nix were just exploitable, Windows "welcomed" viruses (think about ActiveX, autorun, administrative privileges by default and such).
There is a misunderstanding about updates. I was not saying that Windows is less updated, I was saying its security holes remain exploitable for a longer time, if they get fixed at all. Compare Windows XP (read section "Most Critical Unpatched"):

with Ubuntu Linux (again, read section "Most Critical Unpatched"):
