We have 40+ Windows 2003 servers ... none have been compromised as long as I've been here. I watch the IPAudit logs(a program that runs on top of MRTG on Redhat 7.3 box); I watch the firewall logs; I watch the Packeteer and Nitro (packet shaping devices) logs ... I see SCADS of attempts to infiltrate our network. None of them succeed.
The fact is that "reward" for hacking a OSX Server is just a marketing ploy. No hardened system can EASILY be hacked (including Windows) ... Note: I said EASILY ... I didn't say it couldn't be done. A n00b would have a hard time at it.

Same situation, different software. Attached a few pictures. Sorry for the terrible quality... massive compression to upload them.
None of these have been hacked, in the sense that there was unauthorized access from outside. Securing these servers is actually a small part of my 40 hour week (20%).
NONE of them are Macintosh. If they were, I think I'd be spending a lot longer than 20% of my time managing the different software suites across OSes.
The "security" of an OS has very little to do with the OS itself - it has to do with the measures taken to harden them. An 'unhardened' RHEL3 server scares me just as much as an Windows 2003 SP1 machine, and Linux is supposedly the "secure" OS.
