The security is somewhat better. The main reason is that we Mac users have less of the Market share. There are more hackers to make viruses and things for windows. But it is better. I will add, I have mentioned in a question a long time ago that the best security is common sense and safe browsing. As long as you avoid bad sites and only download from places that are safe, you will probably not get a virus.

One word: Pwn2Own. Charlie Miller has already shown which is more secure. Though, Linux is the winner out of all of them.

Apple may have less security flaws than windows Doesn't make it a better OS. Windows has been know to have so many problems due to the masses. Which is about 90% of the market in business and personal use. Apple and the Linux/Unix also have their own security problems as well. But you do not hear them as often as you do with windows.
