We all love Linux and Mac around here, but reports lately are that OS X apps are just as vulnerable or more so than Windows apps, though things typically run as a non-root user. What makes you think Mac or Linux will be any better for the majority of users? Social engineering is platform agnostic, and that's what a lot of (most?) malware exploits these days.
