On the usability scale, absolutely. Very, very few people have encountered the "guest user" bug. Huge numbers had many major problems (not "a couple") with 10.5.1, and they complained much louder and longer than what we've heard about 10.6.1.
So lets say you had a workstation Mac Pro set up with pretty much every single file you need in your life and your friend wanted to come and use it so you tell him to log into the guest user account, then poof all of your data is gone. I can't believe you think that isn't worse than feature bugs.
 
f**ck apple

it didnt fix my flickering macbook unibody.
still small and annoying flicker when using battery power.
it is the last time i buy an apple product.
A 400$ laptop has a better screen then this macbook.

Bye, went to ebay to sell this ****.........
 
guest account problem: supposedly if you were using time machine like apple wanted everyone to use, you would be alright, however still a pain
 
What I'm referring to when I say font changes are things like this:

and

They didn't look like that under 10.6.1
Someone please help :(
 
is it my impression...

Or the Beach SpinningBall, is spinning (yet, sometimes) soooo fast now?
 
Yeah, I'm seeing some font issues, primarily in the latest version of Firefox.

Arial Black refuses to show up. Strange.
 
I don't care how many feature bugs there are when comparing to the single most absolutely inexcusable problem in 10.6.1. A bug that actually erased every single piece of data on your hard drive is far worse than a couple of features not working.

:rolleyes:
Bugs like that happen with every OS update. Hell, they happen with every software update. You just need to be careful and have backups of all your useful information.

To think that Snow Leopard is any worse of an update than Leopard, Tiger, Jaguar, etc. is absolutely asinine.
 
Does anyone know if this includes a fix for the bug in the Automator Action to create a PDF contact sheet from images?

Every OS update? Every software update? That's the most ridiculous claim i've heard all week.
 
PLEASE stop with your insane fanboy comments on every single thread, it's killing me!

Back on topic: I didn't really experience any of the problems listed as fixed, but I do use a guest account sometimes so I'll just go ahead and download.

I 100% agree with you. It's just too much... that comment was not the reality of what has happened to people using/installing Snow Leopard. There are major problems, and it has affected most of us who chose to be "beta testers" with Snow Leopard 10.6 and 10.6.1. The problem is Apple has a long way to go... I would have preferred Apple waited until today when Snow Leopard would have been closer to ready.

Let's all pray that 10.6.2 will start fixing problems, but I fear we have a long way to go before Snow Leopard is truly ready for release.

To ALL of those with PPCs, you saved yourself a big headache by not having to (feeling you have to at least) "downgrade" your OS to Snow Leopard.

I really believe that Microsoft is headed in the right direction with Windows 7, and that Apple is headed in the wrong direction with OS X. Seems that both have learned from each other's pasts. I love the iPhone and iPods, but I really wish Apple was still a "COMPUTER" company.
 
Did they fix OpenGL yet? You know how our OpenGL is performing about half as well with SL as it did with Leopard.

If that happens to you then it's worse, especially if you don't have a backup (although it seems most people on MR want to excuse Apple by saying "everyone should have their data backed up"). But more people were adversely affected in more ways for a longer time with 10.5.1 than with 10.6.1.

Maybe you weren't here in February 2008 when MR users were running Software Update every 15 minutes and begging Apple to release 10.5.2.
