actually 9.0.4 was a #.4 update
And don't forget 6.0.4. Apple jumped the #.4 on 7.5, and went from 7.5.3 to 7.5.5. Though there is an interesting screenshot of 7.5.4 on

who cares about a .4 update, it's still an update, with either bug fixes, or new features. This is still good. It's better to have 10.1.4 than not to have 10.2...
I think that the new version of Apache will find its way into 10.1.4, and maybe some other smaller features, or even spring-loaded folders, but you know how Apple is, and they may make a big deal out of spring loaded folders in 10.2, so who knows? If you do know, then speak up!

My First Post 🙂
Well, I have been reading the forums for a while, and finally decided to sign up to start posting. 😀
As far as I remember, the 7.5.4 update was going to be released, but there were some sort of bugs in the installer, so they fixed the installer and renamed it 7.5.5.

Amazing...
This morning I started up my iBook & my Powermac at the same time. I have a quicksilver (867) & a iBook 366.
Amazingly the iBook started up faster (by about 15 ) seconds ahead of the G4. This is by the way not affected to memory size. Mac OS 10 doesn't check your memory when you start up whatsoever!

And a tip for all of you:
Mac OS 10 does a really basic scan of the startup disk when it starts up (avoids the fsck command). To avoid this type this in the terminal:
sudo root
fastboot
Your computer will restart and a file will be created in the root of your startup disk named "fastboot". To stop the fastboot just trash the file.

fastboot didn't show any benefit
It still took about 50 seconds to startup my Mac from a cold start after having done fastboot. Also fastboot doesn't work unless you just type:
sudo fastboot all on one line. At least not on 10.1.3. Only do this while no other program is running, as it literaly reboots your machine without going through the regular shutdown procedure. Not a good thing to do!

I thought everyone knew that _._.x updates were never major things. I wouldn't expect more in the update than a few new device drivers, probable inclusion of the new ATI drivers which were just put out, and some bug squashes. Don't expect any new features or major optimizations. That's usually reserved for _.x updates.
I would comment however that Rage 128 Pro users (mostly g3 iMacs) will notice a speedup in window scrolling etc if they hadn't already put in the new ATI drivers. As it stands under 10.1.3 with the new ATI drivers, the windows scroll very smooth except for the pauses for displaying areas containing files not previously seen yet (when the disk is thrashing to cache icon info).

Re: actually 9.0.4 was a #.4 update
7.5.4 was not a general distribution build. It was special-purpose, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was for.

With the announcement that the newest version of OSX is going to be a 'sneak peak' at the WWDC Keynote, I'd be more inclined to believe that this rumor is valid. We'll just have to wait and see if the release is actually done this week.
And I wouldn't expect to see OSX.2 at WWDC now. It will probably be released later, possibly MWNY.

i appologize for being late in this post, but i have another question about boot times. my imac 500 takes about 2-2.5 minutes to do a cold start and even then, i have to wait about a minute or two before i launch any programs, otherwise, it takes forever for an application to launch. for example, omniweb usually takes about 10-12 seconds to launch for the first time, but if i try to launch it (or any other app) right after a restart/reboot, it will take about a minute for the blinking arrow to stop and another 30 seconds for the browser window to appear. do others have this problem, or is my computer really messed up?
