Take a look at Mac OS X to understand that this is simply not true.
OSX is a classic case of security by obscurity in practice.
At least, the default number of network services a Macintosh offers
to the rest of the internet is zero.
In contrast to Windows.
This is consistent with the default configuration of every

Unfortunately, including Vista, Windows runs programs in the default
configuration, which offer network services, and then filters them away.
