Unix vs Windows security

Hi to all,

Asking which of the Unix and Windows platform is better may sound stupid...!

But may I know what are the major differences between Unix and Windows in terms of security (authentication, access control, and complexity vs simplicit)?
In which ways Unix does better than windows and vice versa...?

by the way, i am a heavy window user......thinking to switch soon.
thanks...!
