Nope, I disagree. Microsoft releases emergency hotfixes within about 24 hours usually, if a security vuln is critical enough. And this one is definitely extremely critical.
Let's be honest, Microsoft is better at security than Apple, mostly as auto-immune response, but regardless of the cause, they've been battle-tested and they know how to handle it.
Microsoft has had to deal with more security issues for obvious reasons. Apple has not had a serious security protocol on the basis of assuming the platform is flaw free. Even if that were the case, it's how seriously and professionally each is handled is what builds or breaks PR/credibility. IOW, you're only as good as your last performance.
Also (until very recently) better at developer support, particularly for enterprise developers. MSDN was amazing.
Did you read the release notes? There were several arbitrary code exec overflows and a sandbox bypass that were patched as well. Nobody is freaking out that these took days or weeks to ship...
