I think you forgot a 'No' in front of all those. :-)
Things MS SW has that Linux doesn't:
1. Easy installation of SW on your computer by no action on users
part.
2. Frequent memory leak / corruption cleanup via automatic reboots.
3. Frequent reinstallation of OS due to bitrot.

Security is one of those funny things. You can talk about being "more"
secure, but there's no such thing. A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and
even one makes you just as insecure as anyone else. Security is a binary
condition, either you are or you aren't. - Funkenbusch 1 Oct 2006
