Of course not. Windows comes with a few hundred holes out-of-the-box.

Also, when hackers find a security vulnerability, they wait till the Wednesday after Microsoft "patch Tuesday" to start mass-exploiting it. That makes sure the patch will be released at least one full month after. Means one full month of fun getting machines pwned with those exploits.
