Yup! Another common example is 'prepaid', as in a phone or credit card.I'd say it's parallel how you can buy pre-cooked stuff in the supermarket (already cooked, only have to warm it up before eating).
Gramatically "pre-patched" can mean both, it just depends on the context.
But what exactly is the context of Win/Linux (pre-patched)?
EDIT: Rather than context, I suspect it depends more on the word itself, whether it is something that has been done beforehand, or it is something that still needs to be done.
