Funny, none of my four Windows systems have been infected. Maybe it is because I'm not one of those "smart" people who disable automatic updates, and therefore have been patched for almost 5 months now.
Mac users only wish their OS was as successful as Windows. Not even the bad guys considers it a worthwhile target. Having an installed base of 1.1 billion users certainly makes Windows a worthwhile target, even after it has already been patched, thanks to dimwits that turn off automatic updates (yes, the number of unpatched Windows systems are still more than all of OSX - ouch!). We all know by now that OS X certainly isn't harder to hack than Windows. On the contrary, it was stated multiple times by the security experts at Pwn2Own that it was the easiest to hack of all the mainstream OSes.
So if I were you I'd stop making everyone else keep bringing that point up every time.
