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.

Once it downloaded you have to restart, during the restart a progress bar pops up showing the installation progress. However once the progress bar got about a quarter of the way along it stopped... so I left it. 2 hours later it was still there, so I turned the computer off and on again. This time it seems to have worked.... the computer claims to be running 10.5.4.... but still.... surely a OS update shouldn't freeze. I once had the please of having half of one version of OSX installed over another version. When it started you got a blue screen with a rows of matrix style characters flowing down parts of the screen. and that's as far as it ever got.

You're on an Intel-based machine? The download was 59 MB for my PowerPC-based machine.

The update went smoothly. They've apparently worked on the virtual memory system again, as the occasional stuttering is gone and the system is faster. Still, not as fast as 10.4.10 but it seems the best of 10.5.x.

You might want to wait until they've hacked the latest upgrade. Upgrades are often meant to break hackintoshes, that's what you get for violating Apple's EULA. Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (MobyTurbo) Comments
