Windows computers are the target of almost every computer virus on the planet because Windows is the most popular type of OS (Operating System). Think about it, if almost 94% of the population who have computers on Earth are using Windows, don't you think hackers and virus writers will take advantage of that and aim at every Windows computer? Apple computers and like you stated, Unix computers, are less vulnerable to virus attacks because the majority of computers are Windows (that's not to say you still can't get a virus if you have Apple or Unix).

This question cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. A windows system is more likely to be attacked simply because there are more of them. In addition, windows users may not patch their systems as often as they should. As a result, they "seem" to be more prone to viruses. If a virus writer knows that the chances of successfully attacking a windows systems are better, then they will try to target the virus to that system. A windows virus generally will not affect a different operating system.
