Can you name those hundreds of issues discovered on Windows stack for, say, 2014? I'm on IIS and I really want to know if I'm missing something. MS had it's fair share of security flaws in the past but give them credit for their current state. You sound like people still talking about BSODs, while it's certainly a thing in the past.

Do two hugely impactful nix-centric security bugs overshadow the hundreds of minor ones found in Microsoft products? Yes, certainly.

I was under the impression that windows server is pretty stable/secure these days.
