Actually, they need to get ready for viruses - now that they're Intel-based, and many are running Windows natively, they're coming.
Before it wasn't worth a hacker's time to create a virus for Macs because it wouldn't have the huge worldwide impact they would get by releasing on for Windows - they're coming now!
"This means we poor Mac users..."
Actually, never once did I refer to you as "poor Mac users" or have any pity on you whatsoever (I'm WELL aware that you can run Windows apps - I used Rosetta in the late '90's). I was pointing out how vocal many Mac users are about some apps not being Mac native, and that it only applies to apps that are not Mac native.
As long as it's Mac native, not only do they not seem to care at all that it's not available for Windows, they gleefully smirk at the notion - and then in a scathingly snotty way say, "you just need to buy a Mac."
God forbid you have an entire studio that is built around Windows and Linux machines, and most of your apps you have purchased are Windows only or the Windows or Linux VERSION only - yeah, I should just buy a Mac - and discard the $20K+ in equipment I have. What a BRILLIANT suggestion.
