the only reason why Mac's have never had a major virus/worm incident is because their market penetration is what hovering at ~12% or something like that, no one is going to take the time to mess with that. But frankly I wish it would happen, bring those dang Mac hippies down a peg or two.
"edit"
for the record i don't actually hope it happens I just really really hate the high and mighty attitude of mac users.

I'm buying a Mac this week ;D
Yes, Mac and Linux are used less and thus people generally don't bother making viruses for them. But they are both Unix based and thus a little more secure to start with. Majority of servers use Linux I believe, and if there's one thing you'd want to trash with a virus (if that's your thing) it's a server...

This thing caused quite a stir among the virus-attitude of mac users. it's probably the first wave of the impending shitstorm.

It seems that it would be a good 12% to hit. Macs have more security, and while they aren't invulnerable they are more secure than windows.
