This implies that the penetration of companies is the biggest driver of malware. Do you have numbers that support this?
Sometimes you can also express personal opinions, you know, gut feelings, and you can discuss about those even if you don't have numbers to show. Those discussion are also usually slightly more entertaining than numbers.
Well, I said the first part of the above, but not the second. This thing where people put words into your mouth is getting a bit tiresome.
The data is interesting in its own right!
Many scientists would urge you to be skeptical of your memories. The human mind is subject to many unconscious biases:

I have no evidence more enterprise adoption will increase the overall threat to my system, however, I could prove my statement technically true by writing a script that uses a rainbow table to attempt to access my keychain. Being "technically correct" is meaningless to me, though.
Instead, I believe my initial comment (with the context above) stands: more enterprise Apple adoption will increase the number of attacks against OS X and the quantity of tools available for the hacker. A root kit with a key logger to steal the CEO's credentials will work equally well to steal my bank account information.
I stand corrected.
But an increase in corporate penetration would increase the value of OS X as a malware target, and that is what drives malware.
Are that many corporate LAN/WAN really run so badly that people can run botnets out of them on a regular basis? If that's the case, it's disappointing. If it's not, then I'd be a bit shocked at the prevalence of illegal corporate espionage.
