Because hackers don't think like you do.Because a virus is not as easy to build as you think or you see portrayed in the movies.Because not many (if any) big businesses or banks use OS X.Because there's nothing to gain from infecting a kid's Mac.Because the majority of computers world-wide are still using Windows.That should be enough reasons. Maybe if you understood what it takes to write a virus, you'd realize why it's simply not worth doing it.
