Ahhh, the security through obscurity myth. But surely statistically there shold be at least some viruses for OSX by now? Personally I beleive that it is because OSX is better by design.

They are plenty of published exploits for OS/X (google for "exploit os/x" if you want to see them). OS/X is largely built on top of FreeBSD which also has had it's fair share of exploits.
No one has written a virus for it because it just isn't a very common platform. It wouldn't be hard to write a worm or virus which used the known exploits in FreeBSD (or the default services that install with it) but that hasn't been done yet either because it is even less common than OS/X.
