I've been using Mac OS X since 2001 and I'm partial to Mac laptops. They kind of lose me with their desktop offerings but that's beside the point.
I have also noticed that on average, fewer Mac users report problems with malware compared to Windows. But I've also noticed that a lot of Mac users have a false sense of security i.e. I bought a Mac so I don't need to worry about malware. Same for Linux users.
I guess my main point is that just because people aren't reporting problems doesn't mean they're not infected. Like when Flashback made the rounds a few years ago, most of the people who had it on the Mac didn't notice it was there. That kind of malware, which stays hidden and harvests data you type into your browser (userids, passwords, cc info, etc.) is arguably more dangerous than the adware that people do notice.
