Exactly. These are targeted viruses. Want to see them on Mac have nations and big companies switch to Mac.

That specific virus had a specific target. But it exploited a "Windows bug that affects every Microsoft operating system, including the recently released Windows 7".

And it is a virus in the wild. What's the Windows 7 installed base compared to OS X? Something like 2 to 1, tops? Enough of a gap to make OS X, which has been out far longer be "obscure" by comparison and yet it has no viruses in the wild?
