Next iChat version to include Jabber support

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the behind-the-firewall dept.

SeaFox writes "A couple of stories about new features in the next version of Mac OS X have revealed that the new iChat 3.0 will include support for Jabber. With businesses able to host their own messaging servers behind the firewall and use it with Apple's included IM client, will this effect Jabber's overall share of the IM market?"

    Yes, we all know Apple has no power to do anything, let's say push something like Firewire to become standard. _rolls eyes_

    Oh, definitely! In those businesses who are 100% Apple! Like Pixar, and, uh, Apple... :(

    I didn't say the poster used it correctly, since they didn't.

    However, his simplistic view of "one is a noun, the other a verb" effects no useful change in people's English understanding, as it prevents them from understanding the way an effective use of the verb "to effect" can affect an English sentence.

    You dig?

    I wouldn't recommend giving shell accounts to random Slashdot people. That's a security risk waiting to happen.

    I think the editors just put mistakes in to annoy people.
