I have worked mostly in the Microsoft stack myself, and I mostly use Windows because the Mac costs a LOT more and most of the applications I use every day are not available for Linux. I wonder though, is Linux is really more secure or just less of a target? Just a thought. :)

I would say less of a target, but not necessarily because of low usage, but because of the OS and applications mostly being open source. It reduces the target vector.
