Windows is less secure just because it is installed on 95% of all PCs.
That means that all a malware writer has to do is target a vulnerability
in Windows and it can't help but hit thousands upon thousands of
computers at a minimum.

The biggest security hole in Windows isn't the number of vulernabilities
in the code, but the sheer numbers of PC installed with Windows.
