This update is probably related to iTunes 7.7 (iPhone 2.0) and Mobile Me, but hopefully it's a sign of more timely bug fixing and security patching on Apple's part.

I think that they were concerned with the finger-pointing from Adobe concerning the network saves being corrupted more than anything else. They just happened to have some other issues fixed in the meantime.

10.5.5 will take longer and have a lot more meat.
