I agree that currently a Internet connected Mac may be less
vulnerable to mischief from the outside than a PC. But it
is not particularly because the Mac is inherently more
secure, but moreso the fact that there are less Macs so less
interest for those seeking to create havoc. So if the Mac
becomes the pervasive way to connect to the Internet that
will change.

For security reasons, my internet connection has always been
on Macs only.

For all business applications, I use only windows programs
(on a PC).

I don't have any conversion programs, so I'm not even
tempted to moves files between the Mac and the PC.

No virus or related problems on either platform (so far).

For me it's not "Windows vs. Mac". I use each of them for
what they are best at.
