But windows patches are free.  Even if you are using an illegal copy of
windows, you can still manually download and install the patches.  It's
Microsoft Update where they mostly have the genuine windows verification
code.  Even Redhat forces you to pay subscriptions for their autoupdate
management stuff.

Popularity is a factor. But the real vulnerability is that Windows can
be more secure if it has the patches. If Linux for example restricted
it's seurity patches to only licensed users they would have the same
problem. I'm not saying either that MS should be compelled to distribute
any upgrades for free. Just secutiry fixes.
