Windows users have spent literally billions of man-hours on security problems - a disgusting waste of time, money and productivity.
Here is the current situation -
Windows worms, viruses and spyware: 70,000+.
Mac OS X worms, viruses and spyware: near zero.

Why spend time making viruses for an OS that is effectively computer training wheels nobody buys?

Mac OS X worms, viruses and spyware: near zero. Which will change, if Mac ever gets a respectable market share. Even among those who are not religiously motivated (as many anti-MS hackers appear to be), most hackers are smart enough to put their efforts toward the systems that are best able to propagate their work.
With over 90% of the user market, Windows is by far the most desirable target.
But again, we cannot neglect the religious aspects of this: there are those -- and I suspect there are/will be several on this very thread -- whose antipathy toward Microsoft is rather resembles militant Islam.... ;-)
