It's coming, but whether it's coming to a Mac near me is questionable.
My guess is that each "bug" will involve at least one of the
following IFs:
1. User must be tricked into clicking a URL
2. User must be tricked into opening a malicious file
3. User must have a specific poor configuration on their system (such
as those Dave mentioned)
If that is the case, then the threat does not change for Mac users.
There are already exploits available to attack those with such
vulnerabilities.

You *still* don't have to outrun the bear.
