If Mac OS was the top dog, things probably wouldn't be very different. The factors that result in insecure software are independent of whatever company happens to be making the most software.
However, M$ does do a lot of things to make their software less secure that they can control. Things like making default choices in its OS to be the least secure choices, for example, or allowing integration between apps and the OS without the proper security. The easily bypassed "security" of Windows 9X is totally due to M$ design, and it's not something you find in *nix; at least, it is not as easy (you can, after all, log in as root all the time, which is pretty stupid).
