If you believe in probability and math and whatnot, a more hardened OS will by definition be less vulnerable than a less hardened one. Freaking math. The weakest desktop is going to be the one that supports the most 3rd party widgets and whatnot, I'd bet. *nix, in general, is a bunch of separate things, put together to form something bigger. Windows, on the other hand, is designed with integration and cross pollination in mind. It's like I could cut and paste some lines from BSG right in here. ;) Tho in general, people do love to click that "yes" button, so what can you do? Just tell 'em not to click it? Or tell them 1) not to click it, 2) get some protection, and 3) visit as few of clicky popup sites as possible? :)p -- Be that self which one truly is.
