we cant be as smug anymore can we?

There were already 17 known Trojans variants in the wild for OSX... in three families... this is must two more in a fourth family. Compare that to over a million malware for the other platform... OSX will warn you about the other three families and as soon as Apple gets out a security update, it will warn you about downloading this one too.

Just curious, how many of those million will affect up-to-date, patched Windows 7 installations?
