Compare Windows 7 to Snow Leopard and Windows 7 smokes Snow Leopard in any way you care to mention.
“Oh... Apple doesn't have to bundle anything else with it, in the way of any Anti-virus protection”
With or without anti-virus, Windows 7 is fundamentally more secure than Snow Leopard. It was designed that way. Again..
“Apple missed a golden opportunity to lock down Snow Leopard when it again failed to fully implement security technology that Microsoft perfected nearly three years ago in Windows Vista.
The security hole that Miller says Apple ignored, according to Computerworld, is address space layout randomization (ASLR) which “randomly assigns data to memory to make it tougher for attackers to determine the location of critical operating system functions, and thus make it harder for them to craft reliable exploits.”

Apple has been left behind I'm afraid.

Well, heck! I've been trying to get you to run it without any Anti-virus software for a year... I don't seem to be having too much success with that one ... LOL ...
With Apple users, you couldn't get them to run Antivirus software even if you paid them to do it, because Mac OS X has been that secure that they've never had to have it all this time .... hoo-boy!

Well, if you could point me to the tests where they've run Windows without any Anti-virus protection at all -- I would definitely like to see that one ... LOL ...
Heck even some user that has done it for a year or so... that would be great.
As for Macintosh, you've got the anti-virus companies "lamenting" that they can't even get Macintosh people to use anti-virus software since the Mac OS X is that secure for these users.
They've even got articles out there trying to get Macintosh users to use anti-virus software and protection... ummmm... "no go" ... sorry boys!
I mean, those anti-virus companies have done their darndest to sell their stuff, but as long as nothing is happening (and it hasn't been for about a decade that I know about) -- that ain't gonna happen... :-)
