It isn't just about market share and becoming a target for virus writers, it's about
the nature of the OS itself. Sandboxing, operating system verification on reboot, and the ease of reinstallation all reduce the threat.
Doubtless there will be viruses targetting the platform in due course, but the protection is built in and one of ChromeOS's big selling points should be that there is far less of a potential problem with ChromeOS than with Windows or OSX.
