Next iChat version to include Jabber support

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday September 14, 2004 @01:06AM 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?"

Except one is more affective than the other...

Yes, they can both be used as verbs. But not to mean the same thing. To effect something is to bring it about, or make it happen; to affect something, is to influence it somehow. They're both nouns too....
