[Hi everyone. Been reading anonymously for 2 years - my first post!]
Sounds like even the worst-case aspect of Mac Defender is it 'bugs you for your credit card info', and can be easily removed. Whereas I had the Windows version attack my PC a couple months ago (thanks, S.O.!) and it rendered the machine virtually useless. The steps to remove it are cumbersome and complex and even then not guaranteed to work.
So even when Apple products are hit by malware, the actual impacts pale in comparison to what happens on a Windows system. Next!
The colors and composition of the graphics screamed; 'Not Apple'! This thing jumped on my screen when I was in Google images. It was busier than this Italian weather website; http://digilander.libero.it/meteo_ercolano. (And that is hard to top for busy.)
Maybe the Italian weather site looks boring once you've had a couple espressos...

So there's a lot that Apple could be doing for the consumer and this would push it yet another yard ahead of Windows.
Another yard ahead of Windows would put them in a different time zone.
