It's now more of an argument over the usefulness of the menubar, not which is easier to hit. Of course the Mac menu bar is easier to hit. The question to ask is why do we need a menubar at all? By not having a global menubar, Windows has permitted the development of infinite-width tabs-on-top in Chrome, the Office Ribbon, getting rid of the menubar entirely in Windows Explorer, etc. It's impossible to do things like that in OS X, because we're stuck with a menubar from the 1980s.
