    I guess there a a lot of small and medium shops out there, who will patch their Windows systems regularly, but runs a 5 year old unpatched Linux server which will be never be touched, because it is too risky to break it (when applying all outstanding patches) or because nobody in this shop knows Linux well enough and because it just runs.

    Caveat emptor!

    Anything you buy or use that needs maintenance is your ultimate responsibility no matter the OS. Linux consultants are available, it's not rocket-surgery or the domain of grey-bearded priests. It's no more difficult than Windows, just different.
