Although the name of the app has changed, the name of the disc image has not.

I don't remember any reviews, by blowhards or others, saying that Mac OS X is flaky. Rather the opposite. Of course, no OS is flawless. As for software theft and sharing, that's a human activity not limited to users of any particular computer platform.
The trojan in question here is found on some "pirated" versions of iWork 09. That doesn't mean it comes with "shared" versions. So the chance of it spreading virally is low. And, of course, now there's a patch for it, which will cut those odds even more.
Still, it's easy to understand why blueskymining is blue-in-the-face. Apple fans can be tedious in their pride and gloating. It just goes to show how counterproductive arrogant behavior is, even if a bit of pride is justified - as it is in the case of OS X. Although OSX.Trojan.iServices.A is not the first exploit, or potential exploit, for OS X, it's one of a very few to have escaped into the wild and it's method of dissemination guarantees a limited run. Whether it's a harbinger of things to come remains to be seen. In the meantime, we should be grateful to SecureMac for providing this solution.
