Of the twenty two vulnerabilities fixed by the updated - which is labeled Security Update 2006-007 - twelve are related to flaws that could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Because OS X contains a lot of Opensource packages, it may have more fixes than say Windows, which is mainly "In-House" coded.
And the point is...? You have your OS, you make it as you want and keep it updated as you want; bugs must be fixed, no matter if you include F/OSS packages or not. Not using those packages explains nothing, it's Microsoft who decided to make Windows this way. And ask Vistas's "new" network stack about OSS...
