10.6.2 is perfect! anyone else agree?

Snow Leopard seems to run fine for me except for the fan noise on my ATI Radeon HD 3870. It's significantly louder than in regular Leopard. I'm really not pleased with that but I'm hoping a fix will be on the way or somehow I get used to it.
 
Not perfect, color profiles are still messed up, can't use my Dell 2408wfp with my macbook cause colors are way off
 
Personally, I've not noticed much different with 10.6.2, but then I'm not that observant.

I did notice that my wacky Japanese names for system apps are now appearing in English, so I'm thankful for that.
 
Not for me. After a few days on, I cannot invoke Expose correctly. Right now, when I invoke it with the button on by gesture - it locks and holds a tile view. However, pretty soon, it will be unable to hold this view with 10+ windows opened. Its not a number of windows, because on a clean restart, I can hold 50 Safari windows at once.

Also, my dock still disappears. I can turn autohide off, and it comes back up permanently.

I'm using a 2.66 GHz 17 inch unibody MBP, so my hardware is relatively new.
 
Just installed it. No apparent problems yet. i was amazed that it freed up 22GB off my MBP!! i was not expecting anywhere near that!

It only freed up 7GB, that is provided that you are installing SL for the first time.
 
Big improvement.. though there is still beachballs when doing intensive stuff in Finder or Safari. No biggie, just an irritation.

Though I've noticed that 4 finger swipes (horizontally), when I place 4 fingers back down again to switch apps, sometimes it takes the 3rd or 4th time on placing my 4 fingers down again for the app I've highlighted to be switched to. If I press enter, it happens instantly.

Obviously, this is more an issue with Apple tinkering with the multi-touch trackpad, than a OS X 10.6.2 issue, but never-the-less it remains there. They fixed some trackpad issues with 4 finger swipes in 10.6.2, but there is still some quirks.

Man, the multi-touch trackpad was perfect in Leopard! Scrolling, tapping, accidental tapping being recognised, 3 and 4 finger swipes. Everything was recognised when you wanted it to be and it worked beautifully!

Anyone else still experiencing not quite the same trackpad performance as Leopard?
 
-beach balls gone
-animations smooth
-safari crash free up to this point

since 10.6.1 all is well on my older 2007 mbp.
I'd say now is a good time for anyone hesitant on a snow leopard upgrade to upgrade.
 
Besides my personal aggravation with Finder and Exposé behavior under Snow Leopard 10.6.2 gets my approval as being what it should have been on day one.

The only real problem left for me is with Spotlight but the bugs I suffered with the Open/Save dialog appear to be gone now.
 
i agree it is perfect mainly because my CPU usage is down from 100% to 50% when watching any flash videos, once again apple has pulled through :D

I dont think it's perfect. Safari and Firefox hang everytime I have Gmail open and then visit another flash heavy site like Youtube. Im not the only one having this problem. Safari is almost unusable for me now because I have to have Gmail open at all times.

Im typing this using Opera right now and I don't even like Opera.

Why do you have to have gmail open at all times?

you can set mail to handle your email, and ichat to log in to google talk.

what else would you need?
 
I wasn't having any problems w/ 10.6.1, so 10.6.2 hasn't really changed anything for me I suppose.
 
Ill put it down to all most perfect.

the only issue i am having is with Connect to server.

so once that is fixed it will be perfect!
 
I am still having an issues with Front Row when I disconnect my external monitor while Front Row is running. I seem to be left with a black screen on my MBP. Hard Restart is required to get out of this.

The temp solution for me is the close out of Front Row first, wait a few seconds so its good and closed, then disconnect my external.
 
The one thing that was really annoying me in 10.6.1 - not being able to drag an item from a stack to the desktop unless the Finder was the app in focus - has been fixed.

That was driving me nuts.
 
Using CMD+` to switch between windows in Finder no longer works when you are dragging a file. Never worked in Snow Leopard..
 
I didn't have any issues with either 10.6.0 or 10.6.1 and so 10.6.2 seems to continue that lack of issues perfectly. Whether it is "perfect" remains to be seen though...

For the record, I did an "Upgrade" installation on my 2 year old iMac 2.4Ghz which itself was running Leopard which was upgraded from Tiger so if anyone was going to have issues I would have thought it would have been me.
 
Dunno what you folks are doing, all versions from 10.5.8 to 10.6.2 have been 100% for me. Then again I only run Safari once to download Firefox. :D

I would rather run Safari than Firefox. Since version 3.0 it has become too bloated and too far removed from the original concept of a lightweight browser.

I'm currently running the DP of Chrome alongside Safari, and think it could be my new browser of choice on release.
