Of course they can. I know that as does anyone else. But isn't Microsoft notorious for dragging its heels through the mud when it comes to fixing these security holes? Since Linux is open source, any number of people or organizations are working at any given time on security fixes and they are quickly made available. I have never really heard much in the way of bad news about security fixes for Linux. And I already talked about the frequency of security updates for Mac OS X. No need to beat a dead horse.
