That's pretty debatable, not fact. One example: How many of your *NIX systems have ACL support throughout the OS, from the filesystem all the way up into kernel space? The Windows security subsystem is light years ahead of your typical *NIX (although poorly utilized in practice, no argument there)

The Windows and *NIX API's both have their strengths and weaknesses, but I don't think you can accurately declare one outright better than the other.
