This article is sarcastic, my friend. The author is not really claiming that Windows is safer. We all know Linux is more secure, simply because Windows is selling well the way it is: there is no incentive for M$ to fix it.
And Windows has many more holes than Linux. Free software has been praised for its quality. And one of the reasons for that is exaclty what you point out: the greater speed with which bugs are fixed in free software.
