Windows XP? Well if you’re trying to compare operating systems. What version of OSX or was it OS 9 back when XP launched... See if Apple fixes it for that os.
Our see if any Linux distro that was out 12 years ago gets a patch. Our Amy Android...oops Android want even out them so does the first Android version get a patch from Google? Seriously I don’t know will Google patch EVERT version of Android?
Well, let's see. Windows XP was released on October 25, 2001, Apple OS X.0 was released on March 24, 2001. . . so those would be comparable. However, Windows XP was superseded by Windows Vista on January 30, 2007. At that time Apple was still shipping OS X.4 Tiger. It was superseded By OS X.5 Leopard on October 7, 2007. So, In answer to your question, Tiger is no longer supported with security updates and the Safari version that shipped with it will not be fixed. However, Any Mac using OS X.6 "Snow Leopard" which was released on August 28, 2009, or later will be receiving an update to fix the issue.
That being said, according to Chitika, the percentage of Apple Mac users who are still using OS X.5 Leopard or older is less than 2%. On the other hand, for-q-clinton, they report that almost 19% of Windows users are still using Windows XP!
> Windows XP? Well if you’re trying to compare operating systems.
No, I wasn't comparing operating systems whatsoever. You missed the point. The point was that XP is obsolete and won't get patched. However, with ONE IN FIVE -- 20% of Windows users STILL USING XP, I thought a word of warning was the least I could do.

Are you joking? Or drunk? This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple or OS-X. Were you conscious between 2004 and 2012?
The problem with XP was that Microsoft royally screwed the pooch, multiple times, and had to keep XP alive because they produced "follow-up" releases that were so unacceptable, so flawed, that nobody wanted them, even when Microsoft tried to force them down their customers' throats. As a result Windows users stayed with XP much longer than they ever should have. Windows 7 was a winner, but 6 years after it was released, XP still has 20% of the users. That's how badly Microsoft screwed up.
To imply that Apple should have done the same thing is not only missing the point, it's over-the-top nuts.

Oh, for-q. This is the same issue, and you have the same confusion. You -are- confused, right? Not drunk? Just sayin'.
> Our Amy Android...oops Android want even out them
Hmmm, maybe you ARE drunk.
> so does the first Android version get a patch from Google? Seriously I don’t know will Google patch EVERT version of Android?
Why are you going on like this? Please, go back to sleeping, or drinking, or whatever it was you were doing. Thanks.
And while you're at it, make sure you aren't running XP. Upgrade at least to Windows 7 -- it's a wonderful operating system. I have 5 instances of it (three at home, two at work) that I use daily. It rocks.
I'm looking out for you, for-q. You sound like a person who needs help. Take care and have a great evening.
Google's Android model is that it is not Google's job to patch the devices made by its Android partners. it's the manufacturers of the devices' and the carriers' job to patch their devices. Many of them made devices that are not even capable of being upgraded, much less being patched.
Note that the chart above says the patch is "in the hands of the carriers and the device makers." Good luck with all those devices getting patched.
