    This item's been sitting here a while, without even a FP troll. Is the Apple OS so secure that a security patch is not an immediate "get it now"?

      Give everyone a chance to install it and test things first.

    OS X in this regard is no better than Windows. It's an opaque operating system and dispite the list of changes that Apple provides, there's no real way to know if the patch is going to kill your system.

    Who's the dumbass mod who modded that offtopic? Apache was just updated. I'm asking about if Apache will be updated to 2.0. Hello?

    In any case, thanks for the responses.
