Funny. The ONLY reason that they are "more secure" is because they are not good targets. Hackers go after the mass', not the "one off's". Just as hunters go after a field of ducks as opposed to a lone duck.
I have seen MANY Mac's that have been taken over by remote users (often people who think they are on with technical support of some flavor).
If I was a hacker I would go after the most common system as well...but, alas - that is the reason for perimeter security long before OS security.
