OSX is not more secure than windows, they have a smaller market share and thus a smaller incentive to attack and exploit it. if i am looking for an exploit, I'm going to look where i can use it the most, not the least; no one looks for windows 3.1 exploits anymore. there are fewer used exploits, but not less vulnerable.
