Well lets start with the fact that .NET is 23mb of stuff and the first
patch I had to apply was over 10mb and the second patch was 1.5mb.

If it doesn't make me less secure, why all the patches? Let's see..

 2005-02-08: Microsoft ASP.NET URI Canonicalization Unauthorized Web Access
Vulnerability
 2005-01-18: Microsoft GDI+ Library JPEG Segment Length Integer Underflow
Vulnerability
 2003-12-11: Multiple Vendor XML DTD Parameter Entity SOAP Server Denial Of
Service Vulnerability
 2003-12-09: Multiple Vendor XML Parser SOAP Server Denial Of Service
Vulnerability
 2002-06-08: Microsoft ASP.NET StateServer Cookie Handling Buffer Overflow
Vulnerability

Still think it's not a security issue?
