This article says it all, IMHO.
To put it bluntly, the score so far stands at:
Mac OS X - 2
Widows - countless thousands
and even the two for Mac are still little more than proof of concept.
Shortly after the Ommpa-Loompa Trojan was announced, a journalist
writing for MacWorld deliberately infected one of his Mac with it,
then spend two hours' hard work, in conjunction with a colleague, to
get it to do anything at all. When they finally succeeded, the
effects were worth no more than a shrug.
On the other hand, an unprotected, new installation of Windows XP
(SP1) or 2000 can become infected with a virus within minutes of
being connected to the Internet. This is far more impressive.
