They had been saying all along they were going to support Jaguar. Confirmed by @stake? I thought they were the ones that found the bug. What motivation would they have to be impartial when they can generate more publicity for themselves with sensationalism. I see nowhere where Apple said they would not release an update for Jaguar.

Low interest in this item?

[AtariAmarok]

Sheesh. There sure is a low amount if interest in this news item. It must have to do with the security reputation of the Apple OS.

Why bother to put up another new electric fence around Fort Knox :)
