I don't believe OSX has ever been ahead of Microsoft in security, it just didn't have enough popularity for anyone to really care about attacking it. That has changed.

In 2002 Microsoft shipped with all sorts of unnecessary daemons on and listening by default. OS X did not have that problem.

OSX has always been ahead of Microsoft in the user experience aspect of security. The way it handled privilege escalation has always been far superior to Vista and Windows 7. Also OSX has been leading the charge towards developer signed binaries much more forcefully than Microsoft.
