I use Windows and Linux (Dead Rat, CentOS, Debian) in my job.

I'm not going to rant about which is better as for different applications, each OS has good and bad points.

As for security, Windows obviously has more viri and exploits that are being picked at. The OS is installed on 90% of the worlds machines. If you wanted to write a virus to infect most people in the world or for criminal purposes, which OS you gonna target....

Mac and *nix users who think their OS is the shit need to sit back and think, if that OS was installed on 90% of the worlds machines, would the amount of exploits and viri be as high on their chosen OS as MS has on theirs?!? I think so.

If you want to see a bunch of exploits for any OS, language etc, have a look here - milw0rm - exploits : vulnerabilities : videos : papers : shellcode

Ok, I lied....
