No there is only about 10,00 copies of Vista out there (legally) and they are already infected. Once you start really using another OS you will see the faults of Windows. All windows has on the competition is currently "marketshare".

Consumer and business desktops are about 90% Windows, something like 7% Macintosh, and most of the rest Linux. Internet-facing servers are about 70% Unix or Linux and are much better for sending spam or viruses or other malware.

The compromises on Windows are much higher than in proportion to its share in every one of those segements (servers, business desktops, consumer desktops). It's just easier to hack, harder to secure and tends to be maintained by less competent administrators.
