Heh.. where've you been? Viruses/malware haven't been a real issue on any recent version of Windows in a long time. Mac's day of security reckoning is
still to come. Honestly I wouldn't mind to have one of the things, just as another toy. The long-term security issue Apple products are going to need to face (sooner or later) is a concern, but inevitable. The real issue is the cost. To have a Mac that is anywhere near as powerful as my current PC, I would have to spend close to $8,000 US last time I checked. With the current crop of high-end CPUs, you might find the need for hardware synths like the Virus to be on the decline. Now in terms of interoperability (especially with music hardware and the like), this is where Apple would seem to have an advantage, so I can believe it would be easier to get VC working well in Logic (reduced QA burden). Whether or not that advantage is worth the rediculous price tag and overall value (aka Apple Tax) for the dollar is another story.
Some of the soft synths that I rely on, and produce as good or better results than the Virus Ti2 are not even available on Mac platform.
