Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.2

Looks like a typical software mess. If 10.6.1 worked fine for you, then there's no reason why 10.6.2 wouldn't.
If I were you, I'd run the combo 10.6.2 now, and if that doesn't do the trick, just reinstall 10.6 and run the combo again (after backing up your home folder of course). Then copy your mail and other critical personal stuff back, but don't install any third party software before you know you're OK.
PS. Oh and you're using DiskWarrior, aren't you?
This world is so depressing!
So many things are dying! *cry* *remembers that scene from Scary Movie 3 (the one that parodies the ring) where cindy's bf tells cody that everyone around him is dying*Seriously, though. What is it with you saying that any company that isn't Apple is dead. I highly doubt having ~90% of the world market share qualifies as dead. And if it does, then Apple must dead too. Like REALLY dead.
*remembers the song we can pretend that were dead from playing gta sa*
No problems here . . .
Hmm, no problems for me - in fact, my wake from sleep is faster than before
(less than 2 seconds now).
I have the same iMac - just built in 2009.
Did you do a clean install with SL? (I didn't)

The point is that it's new unpleasant behavior with this update. Or would you rather if people only dolloped cream and honey all over this release even if there are a few problems?
Nope, I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6. It's not terrible, but it is noticeably longer.
It used to be that I'd click the mouse or keyboard and the screen came on almost instantaneously. Now it takes at least a few seconds with a black screen and mouse cursor before anything else happens.
I have an iMac with ATI 4850 running LR2 2.5 and it seems very fast and smooth to me.
Snow Leopard poor battery life
Will the update fix my macbook pro (mid-2009, 2.66 GHz) since Snow Leopard lower (compared to Leopard) battery life?

1. it fixed remote desktop "black screen" problem
2. problem with sound:
in the sound preferences, make sure that output is set to "Internal Speakers"
3. it fixed my bonjour connectivity (desktop <-> MBP) problem as well
can't see any problem so far

I blame myself.
Well, this is what I get for putting things off. When I bought my Mac Pro in April 2008, I was pressed for time and just used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my Intel Mac Mini to it.
Then, when 10.6 came out, I upgraded, promising myself a clean install soon.
Now, it's time, as the 10.6.2 update went pretty wrong, and my Pro is not so happy now. Thankfully, I keep good backups and have all I need to reload it - except, of course, for the elusive time component.
Much like the cobbler's children needing shoes, the IT manager's machine is always the last to get attended to. At least now I have an excuse to make some time.

Where the hell have you been, it's been past the "vista stage" since release.
Lies.
on a mid 2007 whitebook, and its working fine. if anything, it seems a little faster starting up applications.

And Apple still has the nerve to run "I'm a PC. I'm a Mac." ads, this time w/ PC saying "This time will be different." (referring to Windows 7 being all that they promised with Vista would be and going backwards to the first the Windows edition ever).

Unibody macbook here with 10.6.2. and my wifi keeps on disconnecting. I don't know if it is my router or the new update. I got the new router/modem (AT&T 2Wire) today also...
Anyone else have an issue with WIFI?

Are we talking synthetic benchmarks like XBench, or real world benchmarks? On what hardware?
I've seen similar perf out of OGL on the same hardware with 10.5 and 10.6, with 10.6 using a little less CPU to do it.
Okay, let me make it clearer for you.

Spotlight Comment Woes
I've managed to dig up this thread over on the Apple Support discussions.
It looks like files older than about March 28, 2008 return kMDItemFinderComment = (null).
Newer files return their proper Spotlight comments. It's not a Tiger problem since it occurs well into my usage of 10.5.2 and the files were created or tagged only under Leopard.
I'll be using 10.5.8 for now.

My sound prefs now reset to internal speaker with every restart.
