Why choose the extreme? There is lots of free anti-virus software. No one forces you to buy Norton. And its not too hard to keep Windows secure. Keep everything up to date, use something like SpyBot S&D and Firefox with NoScript extension. If you are lazy to do all this, then pay for Norton, but don't say that Norton is a must and don't add it to the price of using windows.
One exmaple doesn't mean anything really (not saying that all Mac users except you have viruses, just showing a whole in your arguement). For instance, I haven't had a virus since 1998. And use everything a normal windows user would use: IM, email, web browsing, P2P.
