Ack! Let's pick one:
Although the exact numbers of patches per time for a specific software manufacturer - let's pick Microsoft as an example - is not known, it is usually low (two for this *month* afaics), compared to what hits lkml *each day*.
Does that make their software more stable than Linux? I would have my doubts about that.
