I guess it would depend on what you mean by security. Using your example with the three laptops. I don't understand how you think it would be eaiser to violate the linux or the Mac os.

Truth is Window os get spyware. That can't happen on LInux because you need a password to write to the drive. Sure there is more winidows boxes, so they get targeted blah blah, but they do get targeted so that is the theme of this argument. Regardless since there is more that makes it more insecure. right??

 To your defence I believe that Vista is more safe, but the downfall of that is you have to run all the new securety running and when you surf you are forced to answer a bunch of questions to check out the site. If you shut that off because it is annoying you might as well be running XP. Not necessary in Mac Or Linux. "Cancel or Allow" 

Maybe someday Linux and mac will be more popular and get some sort of violation, but for now I think it will be a lot harder to exploit a mac or a linux box right now than a Windows box as per admission from the previious posters. 

I will stick to my linux box the OS is cheap and for now I need no 3rd party apps to keep it running or secure from Spyware or viruses. 

 Till, as you guys have stated, that Linux gets more popular, and gets targeted, and therefore making it less secure; at that time I will re-evaluate the security.
