Really? That should be a very insecure system in that case.
I don't know of a single version of Unix (not even OpenBSD) which 
haven't had atleast some CERT alerts serious enough to require upgrades

Not that I'm claiming any superiority of VMS, but the unbiased Unix 
praise sometimes can go a bit too far.
