It isn't about sheer numbers; it's about the overall security
design. Example: people were surprised when news of a trojan that
attacked OS X machines was reported earlier this year. Windows
fanbois were falling over themselves to loudly trumpet that OS X was
just as vulnerable as Windows. Of course, it turned out that the only
way someone could get attacked was to deliberately launch an unknown
executable program, and then enter their admin password when
prompted. That's hardly what I would call insecure.
