Well, among other things the patch installs its source code so you (or probably more importantly lots of independent Windows experts) can verify that it is correct and does only what it says it does. Can you say that for any patch from Microsoft? For all anyone outside MS knows their patch could be faulty, break something else, or whatever.
And note that according to recent reports MS have had a patch for several days but they aren't releasing it until they get it translated into 23 languages or whatever. Anyone who has problems in the meantime should be able to sue MS for criminal negligence...
