Not near as many people are looking close at Apples, plenty of bad stuff could be happening under your nose.

No. It wont. And it can't. All people can come up with are theoretical viruses for the Mac. Things that should work in theory but don't actually work in real life. All security issues are minor at best, and that's only with Macs right out of the box. Configure them a bit and they become fortresses.
For the past six years nobody has won the annual Hack a Mac contest where the winner gets a fully loaded top of the line Mac. This years prize had one of those giant Apple LCD displays... And lots of people wanted it, nobody got it. Hack a Mac uses a stock Macintosh with all of the security features turned on, with no additional software to emulate a user experience of a fresh new computer.
The only time Macs develop any real security issues is when Microsoft products are loaded on to them. And those are easy to avoid.
And for the record, I like *nix in general. Linux, unix, whatever. But I appreciate and am comfortable with the highly polished finish of nix on a Mac. (BSD, whatever)
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
