Does anyone know if this update adds the same kind of 'phone home' 'feature' that the latest MS 'security' updates to Windows has added?

Phone home? - Jason!
So what if it does? Every Mac owner should invest in LittleSnitch, regardless of whether you have legitimate software or not. Some legit software tries to phone home, and I personally want to know when it attempts doing that. And now with more viruses appearing on the Mac, Little Snitch is more important than ever. I've purchased multipled licenses for my personal and work Macs over the years. It works great.Wednesday, June 14 2006 @ 02:54 PM PDT

Yes. This version phones home to Microsoft in whatever country you are in. Answer: Get Little Snitch.Wednesday, June 14 2006 @ 03:58 PM PDT

Dunno, but my, ahem, "legitimate" install still functions fine.Reply to This
