If I install a Windows box and strip al crap with nlite and only install sendmail and apache on it it is as much secure as OpenBSD is.
ALSR, PIE, W^X, SSP, TCP Window Randomization, swap encryption, etc... Those are all proactive security features that go into OpenBSD. They come at the price of making it run more slowly and more difficult to use but increase security.
Microsoft uses the reactive approach to security and would not even compare to OpenBSD in your scenario. If you really don't understand something, please don't speak like you do.
