I don't agree at all.  There are sufficient server and client 
vulnerabilities in *BSD, linux, OS X and windows.  Many of the attacks 
don't even rely on any software vulnerability but on the poor judgement 
and bad practices of end users.  These same problems exist in the unix 
population.  The software for all aspects of a the malware would be 
substantially similar across all existing popular platforms.  The only 
major differentiator is the return on investment.  Writing attacks for 
windows makes more economical sense for attackers.
