because of a single virus that spreads through a single program ? I guess this applies to Linux too, at least to Linux servers running a particular program, and who have neglected to update it. Somehow I feel they are leaving out the virus-laden cesspool called Window$.

Whenever they fix iChat, do the users have to wait 'till 10.4.6?
It would be worrying if they did.

10.8.36223, anyone?

cymon:
Seeing as how I don't use IM, and thus don't give a flying fuck about iChat or AIM or Yahoo!, this once again doesn't affect me. Also, having the common sense not to click on a file from an untrusted sender protects me, even if I run XP.

Apple releases security updates separately than system updates.  So the answer would be no.  All they/we have to do is wait until Apple decides what the proper fix is.  For all I know, they could have a patch already.
