Nothing is 100% safe. I don't think there's any platform that is both practical for everyday use and built with security in mind the way I'd like to see it.
However, some things seem to be much safer than others - not just less often attacked, but actually less likely to yield to attack. Apache is vastly more popular than IIS, but crackers are still relying on IIS holes to propogate their malware; this is at least in part because your average Apache web server is actually more secure against such attacks than its IIS counterpart.
