In Windows you have the situation where users range from extremely knowledgeable to total incompetence, compound this with there is essentially a single OS for each version of Window. This allows crackers a wealth of very similar targets with less effort. Add that some the users are utterly clueless about computer security and you have a situation were attacks will be successful enough for the crackers to justify their efforts.
All of which is OT here but this shows Linux elitism. Security by obscurity. So few people use Linux that Linux is not significant enough to be of value to the 'bad guys' out there. Should Linux ever become common enough that more than about 50 million people, [1] in a world of 5 Billion people, use it - then it might become *worth the effort*. What do you think?
