"Apple recently released its second update to OS X 'Leopard', and the latest version of its shiny operating system is now numbered 10.5.2. When I reviewed Leopard two days after its initial release I called it the best operating system ever made for the vast majority of users. I think that's even more true now that 10.5.2 fixes some of the first-release glitches that annoyed me in 10.5 and in Apple's first, quick, bug-fix update 10.5.1."

[q]The downside to 10.5.2: widespread WiFi issues.
Eh? In my experience, 10.5.1 was awful with regards to WiFi stability. The router would be connected to the net just fine. My Santa Rosa Macbook would lose connectivity, yet wired connection was fine. My N800 and work Laptop (Dell D830) would get a stable connection upstairs, whereas Macbook barely kept a connection in the same room. Since the update to 10.5.2, it's stable as a rock again.

Lots of people (myself included) have had the exact opposite experience: rock solid up until 10.5.2, and then sudden and obvious instability.
Reports are (48 hours after its release) pretty widespread.
In other words, Apple hasn't got WiFi right post-10.4.9 (things started to go screwy for lots of people as of about 10.4.10 and into Leopard).

Second paragraph.
In which case, I wholeheartedly agree.
