OSNews

I did, I can't see any difference. Mail has been updated (as the Keychain reported). I've lost the icons of two external drives but apart from that, I don't feel anything different.

A nice fix (if it has been indeed fixed) is that the icons on the desktop should (finally) be placed correctly… one can only hope

I updated my PB. Haven't noticed anything different, really. My wife updated her Intel iMac. Also no real visible changes at this point. At least it worked. :-)

Checkout the security changes for 10.4.7.

Yes but note that those are not new. 10.4.7 does not include any new security updates, it just includes all previous standalone security updates in case you missed any.

If you have .Mac, there are a lot fixes they made for it.

I installed it and for the first time had real problems. When rebooting it got to the loading OS X screen and the progress went very slowly all the way across and then it stuck at that point and wouldn't boot any further.

Fortunately I had a backup, not as recent as I should have had, so I booted off the external firewire drive and copied the really recent stuff to another external drive and then cloned the firewire drive to the main internal drive. Lost a few items but nothing important. Make sure you have a fresh backup folks. I know this but had been getting a bit complacent of late.

To be honest, I can't say for 100% sure that it was the fault of the update. I had been having some problems removing an application the last couple of days and may have contributed to the problem.

I got back up and running tonight and did a fresh clone so will try the update again tomorrow or the next day. I repeat, make a backup of any important stuff before installing any OS upgrade. Even though my clone was 6 weeks old I had copies of almost everything. A fresh clone would have saved me about three hours of work. :-)
