The fact Mac OS X is a security pushover is pretty well known[2]. That raises the question then, why aren't we seeing more Mac viruses and malware? Is it purely a question of economics that market share answers? Is it because there's more technical "know-how" and experience floating around about Windows vulnerabilities? Is it because it is easier to profit off of Windows vulns? These are genuine questions to which I'd love to hear some answers. Edit: The fact that OS X Lion was shared with security researchers in advance[1] is a good move on Apple's part. Does Microsoft do similar things?
