I would like to know how safe are operating systems today - compare Linux in general, Windows since XP, Mac OS X, Solaris. Does anybody know a good website or article which compares general safety, amount of security holes, viruses of all kinds etc.?

I try to google something but I found only litte pieces and nothing complex. The more I could learn from a article the better.
