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?"

    will this effect Jabber's overall share of the IM market?

    Only as much as anything on Mac has a share on any market. What's Apple's market share of the desktop now ? Other than digital music, have they made more than a ripple in a pond ?

    Will this effect Jabber's overall share of the IM market?

    Will a teenager farting in Niger cause a tornado in Japan? Will my slingshot penetrate 4 inch armor? Will a few percent of the users of a few percent computer marketshare cause an overall significant effect? You all know the answer.
