No, not good.
Worth noting though that the malware wasn't in Apple's software, it was in an open source package, signed with an Apple certificate.
Apple were able to quickly revoke that certificate thus limiting the spread of damage.

Personally I continue to feel far, far, safer entrusting my desktop PC to OS X than to any alternative.
