I'm from Panamá. This bug was at borderline critical both here in Panamá and in Costa Rica with almost everybody using Windoze XP from schools, offices and web shops.
But There's some good news folks. Although My friends and me are still working on a bug fix, my friends and me with the help of a friend who works as a MacStore salesman found a workaround for this issue. We began to offer cheap G3 Macs with both OS X and Ubuntu at schools, offices and web shops, and also we convinced the MacStore training staff about giving training cources about computer basics and GNU/linux as well as giving free ubuntu (x86 and PPC) CD's to those who attend those training courses. This isn't a perfect fix of course, but at least it have decreased amount of victims of that bug down to 30% of the population, buying time for a real bugfix to be released.
Workaround recomended specially in countries where this bug is dangerouslly widespread.
