I ran the Tiger update on my desktop mac and the Leopard update
on all the family laptops right away, as all systems are recently
backed up. The Leopard updates took a bit longer than average
to install and reboot, but not scarily so. The updates haven't caused
me any problems nor have they made many overt improvements.
It may be my imagination, but it seems like I can work longer in
Safari before it starts to bog down and I have to restart it. This is
probably only an issue if you keep a ridiculous number of tabs open
like I do. Despite supposed wireless and network fixes, the update
still hasn't cured my main annoyance, which is that when I reboot,
Airport will not pick up my preferred wireless (Time Capsule wireless
N) network right away, and instead will bypass the Time Capsule
connection in favor of a local open network.
Of course, the big issue is that the update fixes some serious security
vulnerabilities, so you might not want to hold out too long.
I see that Apple has an update for Leopard (10.5.6) and Tiger
(Security
Update 2008-008). Does anybody have any comments about either of
them?
