There is no arguement that *nix machines have very little vulnerabilities, sure
How is that related to MacOSX
Why are you arguing that OSX's security is better than Windows but talking about *nix?
Windows security is vastly superior to MacOS X security offerings because it HAS TO BE
Because there are more viruses/spyware/adware for Windows
Also MacOS X handles it's proprietary software to the point that, while MacOS X and it's variants have many more vulnerabilities and a poorer firewall than windows, it's quite hard to run unsigned code on OS X.
You will simply argue that Windows is poorly designed in comparison to *nix and MacOS X in terms of protecting itself
And that's true
In terms of the security designed for each respective OS (Windows Firewall, Norton, etc. vs. Mac OSX's whateverit'scalled and Linux's custom built stuff) Windows takes the cake for security
But only because it needs to obviously
