The people that are reading this kind of news items are probably already aware of that MS is not the only alternative - i mean your average citizen wont be informed by by the windows installer or something:

Maybe I'm crazy, but that OS is, what, 8 years old? How many OSes from that time would be safe to run on today's 'net?
Well, openBSD would be my best bet. With "Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 8 years." it is a pretty close one.
