Just my advice, but no OS will make you invulnerable. I've had linux machines hacked into as well.

IMO, a better solution is to make sure you've got backups/etc so that recovering doesn't take you months.

Being concerned/worried about security is a good thing. Switching OS in an attempt to not have to worry about it anymore is probably not the best idea.
