Linux is secure for the same reason as Mac OS X is secure: it's not the dominant OS. I feel pretty happy that my Mac isn't going to get hit by a virus or worm any time soon, but not because the OS itself is any more secure: I've had to download three security updates since June:
So the measure of the security of an OS is whether or not they make security patches available? Balderdash!
OS X, or any Unix-derived OS, is vastly more secure than Windows. Part of it's the design: you can't easily override the permissions inherent in a *nix system; with Windows; you're free to nuke or alter almost any file in the system. Part of it's the design of the applications: Outlook's ability to auto-open attachments for you, for example. How convenient!
