Apple, which last week asked that developers provide feedback on their experiences using pre-released builds of Mac OS Leopard, has followed up by seeding a significant stability update to the next-generation system software. The latest seed, labeled Mac OS X Leopard 9A500n, arrived via Leopard's Software Update mechanism as a 'recommended' update for all developers running Mac OS X Leopard build 9A499.

Yeah, I've found OSX 0.1 releases to be solid, not counting 10.0. (I can't speak for 10.4, since I'm still running 10.3.) But it could be that the jump from 10.4 to 10.5 is more significant than previous jumps, so maybe there will be more problems than with previous jumps. We'll see.

My experience, back in the dark ages - using an eMac. It was preloaded with 10.2.4 (updated to the latest version when received it) and it was great. Upgraded it to 10.3.x the early releases were rather horrid. I bought an iMac G5 which came with 10.3.x by default (later build) was was ok but early 10.4.x were buggy.
*Now* when I mean buggy, I don't mean the whole computer falls down in a big scream heap - it was bugginess and quirkiness in applications.

I personally have never had a problem with osx being unstable nor 'unfinished' (unless you count 10.0 but it wasn't DEFAULT for a fair while after)
