At least no exploits have been publicized. I would assume there could be some interesting attacks on mainframe web-servers and for compromises, insiders are still the biggest worry. Linux and Apple are both getting enough use that writing viruses (etc.) for fun and profit can be worth while. Remember the vulnerability can be in the browser, the web-server, or the email package.
