Ummm, unless there' s someone in here with a time traveling Delorean, you're not going to get an accurate answer to this as no one knows what's in store for the future.

People make vrsus mostly for PC because thats whats the most popular PC OS. IF Mac's have virsus just not as common place as PC. If macs take alot of market share or if you just start being stupid on the internet then you will start getting virus.

You know what, that's a load of crap. With the amount of people who hate "apple fanboys" there would be a Mac virus by now. There is a reason you've never heard of anybody with a virus on a Mac, and that's because Mac's OS is much more difficult to exploit. Could there be one in the future? Of course, but it will be much harder to develop than a PC virus. This is one reason why Macs are so much better.

you wish.  Miller has won the PWN2OWN contest the past two years. In 2008, he was able to gain control of a Leopard-based MacBook Air using a newly discovered vulnerability in Safari. That took him less than two minutes. This year, it only took him 10 seconds or so to exploit a hole in Safari on a MacBook running Leopard.

look up the DEF CON  hacker convention they were able to hack leopard in ten minutes to run shell codes
