It really isn't.

OpenSSL's heartbleed was incredibly hard to patch because of the sheer number of products that link to the OpenSSL libraries. It required painstaking effort to ensure everything was running the latest releases. And the severity of Heartbleed was such that all encrypted information could be deciphered.

Whereas this problem... is a simple server crash that can be fixed by running a Windows Update. Not even on the same scale of vulnerability.
