I kind of agree with Bruce Schneier. It is impossible to make that claim. Macs do get viruses, but they rely more on social engineering than windows viruses do. There was the Photoshop trojan from earlier this year that was contained in torrents for the mac version of photoshop. Photoshop was clean but the crack used to register the program contained the malware.
As the market share for *NIX bases OSes gets larger I except that the number of attacks directed towards them will increase. link to the photoshop article: http://www.atomicsub.net/2009/01/apple-trojan-strikes-again/
