Hopefully this will fix the mousepad-click problem I've been having on my June-2009 MBP 15".
Sometimes when I open it from sleep I can't tap to click anymore, even though the setting is still enabled in Preferences.
re-enabling works, but it's kinda annoying having to do so every time.

The standard 10.6.9 update will only work if you have 10.6.8 installed.
The combo will work on anything from 10.6.0 to 10.6.8

I'm curious, what exactly is broken about it? I've been using it for a year and half and havn't had any issues with it at all.

I can see where this monstrous bug would really prohibit you from being productive and getting any work done on your computer.
It certainly gets in the way. One of my favourite improvements in SL is the ability to sort by kind in open/save dialogs. For the way in which so many of us still work with deep folder trees, especially for work, having all the folders listed in a row is just so convenient. And that's what stacks have lost. I would say it costs minutes over the space of a day - after I *sigh* most times I am reminded of it, I then have to scroll down in the list view stack, and repeat for however many levels I'm navigating. And then let's not forget time spent posting about it
.I just sometimes find it annoying that most of the fixes listed in the OS updates don't mean much to me, but the flaws that are so visible to me remain unchecked. Mind you, for this one it could be worse, remember in 10.5.0 they took out the ability to even have navigable folders in the dock
.Actually it was a very astute one; if you don't back up your data, you WILL lose it. It doesn't matter what the cause is, whether it's lightning strike, spilled tea or hardware failure. Personally I learned this lesson when relying on Windows XP to store my information - I now use a Mac with a full backup of everything.
So what? Do you honestly believe that the only way you can lose data is by hard drive failure? You're the one complaining about the SL data-deletion bug (which was in place BEFORE Snow Leopard), and yet you question the need to back up data.
I'm glad you don't do my IT support.
Is it just me, or has the Expose algorithm been subtly tweaked (and improved)? I'm sure that when I used to open say, Firefox (full screen), Firefox downloads window (tiny) and a Finder window (average size), they'd be stacked next to each other in a line - in 10.6.2 they are arranged in a triangle (2 on top, 1 below) - I could be wrong and this might have always been the case but it seems like an improvement to me - maybe I'll learn to love the new version yet! Either that, or I've just got so used to the new method... wouldn't be entirely unlike Apple to tweak it without admitting they'd got it wrong in the first place though
That aside, very pleased with this update from my point of view - animations (e.g. Expose and Spaces) are a lot smoother (probably back to their old 10.5.x speed), and I'm very glad they've fixed the four finger swipe issue, that was really annoying me!
Not noticed anything else fixed/changed yet but I'm starting to feel a lot happier with Snow Leopard with this update, seems like they've listened to some feedback - long may it continue!

I think they are just enjoying the moment. In a positive kind of way... Sometimes I think we label people with comments like that (including this one perhaps) as we wish to see them, but in fact do not exist that way from their own side posessing those attributes you describe as 'sad'?!?
Got to love the Buddhist philosophy shown here - far too much venting at other people's comments goes on in here (and the internet in general)

Now this IS good news! When is 10.6.9 out? Everything should work then...

You'd just think that with a brand new build and install that they'd already release the machine with the update.

Read my lips..FLASH is made by ADOBE not Apple. Apple can do nothing to make Flash better. However they can and did make the Safari Plug-in better.
And Flash is a Plug-in. It's a plug-in because Flash on OSX is 32-bit while Safari is 64-bit.
Improvements were made to the WebkitPluginAgent.
I know because it was one of my radar bugs fixed.
I love it when people state personal opinion as fact. Always makes me laugh.

Well, it still works for me. The behavior did not change. Try attach things that are not PDF. You should see the difference then.
When you attach PDF, right click it -> view as icon.
Mail attachments iconizer is not working for me. it gives error on launch, and all attachments are viewable...not icons.
also when sending emails to non-mac users the attachments have issues.
They're posts on an internet forum. Get a life.

It's not about problems, but about overall impression. All operating systems have problems more or less, but saying Snow Leopard = Vista is just plain stupid. These operating systems are from different galaxies.
And about that bug. What's so special? It's a bug, just happens it's guest account related. It could be kernel related with data loss or 1 000 000 000 other things.
