Just in case you haven't read it anywhere else (or everywhere else, as the case may be), Leopard users can now get Mac OS X 10.5.2, the much-awaited update to Apple's latest operating system.
The MASSIVE update, and links to more info can be found on the Mac OS X 10.5.2 page. Alternatively, you can just fire up Software Update and twiddle your thumbs for quite a while. It should be worth the wait.
The bad: * Safari still sucks. It's still flaky (at best) with GMail. It still inserts ridiculously superfluous and fugly markup in the Blogger editor, and it still crashes if you use the Blogger web interface for a while.
* My bluetooth-causing-lockups issue still persists.
The Good: * Time machine works better and has a "backup now" option. Finally.
* Overall performance seems to have increased a bit.
So far, I'm pleased, but it did not fix all my issues.
I've installed it on my G4 mini, and am without issue so far. I never had the translucent title bar in 10.5, and was hoping the update would give me a checkbox to turn it on. The mini says "no eye candy for you!"
