If OSX had that kind of a market share, youd bet your ass that everyone would be breaking down its walls, in exactly the same way.
There are PLENTY of hackers out there, of every level, who would absolutely love to be able to point to themselves as the first "l33t hax0r" to write a real world OS X virus and "wipe that stupid little grin off their [Mac user's] smug little faces."
