I think Microsoft are more experienced in the cloud and one of the reasons Sony were vulnerable is because they were playing catch up and possibly cutting corners in order to keep pace. They did have a blistering pace of change whilst the old dog Microsoft took the slower bi annual update approach. This is one of my concerns with the near constant development of things like Chrome, Firefox but I think in these areas it probably is less of an issue, but I can gurantee things will slip out that may not of done had the cycle been a bit more leisurely.
It is interesting about the comment about Linux because it is in many pieces of hardware and often nobody knows what version is running and so it is unlikely to be patched. This is a problem for routers and other types of appliance and can lead to vulnerabilities into what is otherwise a hard nut to crack.
These leaves you in the hands of the manufacturers to patch both the underlying OS and the software running on it.
