Not to make a big deal of this, but it seems you are saying that heretofore, 
Mac users only were safe from viruses because we weren't a big enough target. 
While true, it is not the only reason. It is also true that it is much harder 
to propagate a virus on a Mac using the vast majority of methods known. All 
demonstrable exploits so far have been through components other than the core 
OS. As far as I know, the only real demonstrable exploit has been via drive-by 
downloads in a web browser. 

But I tread again on old soil.
