Don't think this couldn't happen to Linux, it's not a Windows problem but a vendor problem.
Linux doesn't force automatic updates into your system.
On windows, the changes go out to everyone all at once. You figure out there's a problem at the same time as everyone else on windows.
On Linux (with a good it department), pending app/os updates get pulled to testing machine, test to make sure it still works, have supported machines pull down that version.
You manually load them up and pray the vendor didn't fuck up like this.
