They'll be dancing in their seats if a far ranging exploitable hole is ever uncovered and then takes days rather than the customary hours for a patch to be release.
Now for a little fact. As a direct result of the open source model that your so scornful of, patches for security exploits are released an average of 6 - 10 times faster than the windows equivalent.

Just the way it is really. Bill has made a heck of a lot of money, many of us have nicely paid jobs thanks to him, and I guess some people can't accept that.

I can fully accept that Bill, Paul and Steve has made an astounding amount of money. They are true icons of the capitalist system that I support. Despite their desire for communism in the computer market.
I can also accept as a direct result of microsofts anti competitive and anti capitalist corporate policy that they've held the computer industry back by about 10 years.
I can also accept that like with all technology, windows and microsofts time is coming to an end with the advent of something new and better, called GNU/Linux.
And I can also accept that in about 20 - 30 years from now, GNU/Linux time would have passed and something else will take its place. Probably based on the OS model, possibly not.
The real problem is the people who can not and will not accept that. But I have no doubt that the markety will provide for them
