Does anyone have any evidence to support this?

Subject: Re: Apple vs. MS - more secure?


IMHO I would say OS X is more secure by default. While both can be beat 
into submission (and it does take some beating and patches for XP :-D) 
Apple has done a pretty good job. The whole idea of taking a open 
base/kernel and build on top of it helps add a little more security 
because of the many eyes idea. And if you want to you can install gcc 
and compile some of the general Unix/Linux tools for security and 
security checking.

I must point out I think that OpenBSD is the most secure out of the box.
