I think you're living in a fantasy world. The recent vulnerability, which allows the running of arbitrary code simply by clicking on a linked zip file will probably result in at least a handful of new viruses/worms for the Mac platform within the next week or two.

I agree 100% . Zip file / metadata bug added to a malicious InputManager , fucked up dyld file or environment.plist is like instant IE style popup city for Mac users running Safari. It would literally take about 20 minutes to put something together.
