Do you have a source for Windows 10 being considered more secure than OS X or Linux? Didn't expect that designation to fall on a spyware-as-OS product.
A product can be secure from malicous attack whilst still leaking information to the Operating System provider, unless of course you don't trust the provider of your OS, in which case you're completely stuffed anyway :)
Microsoft have made a lot of advances in the security field and have a generally good relationship with the security community. In contrast, I would perceive Apple as having a less good relationship with the security community (they're very secretative about what they do, they've taken actions like revoking Charlie Millers Dev creds for pointing out vulnerabilities). Linux is of course not uniform enough to e able to assign a single value to it but there are some potential concerns about their view of security bugs as just being like any other bug...
perhaps my context was unclear. I was considering number of vulnerabilities among the different OS. that has actually little relation to the other problem that it is of course as spyware-as-OS.

That's like Apple deputizing OS X's vulnerabilities as "features" and calling it quits.
My test for defining vulnerability derives from whether a reasonable, knowledgeable party would put sensitive information on the system. Windows 10 fails this test. I find it difficult to see how anyone would describe its as "hardened," hence the request for a source.
