No, they are really not any more secure, just like Firefox is really no more secure than Internet Explorer. It's all about terms of usage -- if 90% of people used Firefox and 10% of people used Internet Explorer it would be the exact opposite of what people are clamoring now about FF. I for one *love* FF because it suites my needs very well... the new I.E. looks promising but I still don't like how it feels, so for now FF for life.

Anyways, if the majority of computer users were using Apple OS, you would see just as many virus attacks, just as many exploits, and just as many flaws as Windows users report. Speaking of Windows flaws....
