Funny. When do windows users get excited about windows update?
"Yippee! Downloading Service Pack 3!"
???
I don't use windows XP as often, but I *WAS* excited for SP3 to come out.
Got a tip for us?

Woooo!
Hopefully this fixes the only glitch I have. Renaming a file. Takes like 10 tries by clicking on the name.

17 MatteBook Pro here
After a long installation, I'm running 10.6.3.
Before starting tasks, I did some maintenance; zapped P-RAM, repaired permissions, performed sudo tasks.
Everything appears to be running ... fine. I'm not noticing much of a difference anywhere, yet. Stability is always nice.

SL 10.6.2 running fine on my iMac (HD 2600 Pro), so I'll be leaving this update alone for a couple of weeks. Just hope it provides a fix for all those still having issues.
Just upgraded from 10.6.2 to 10.6.3, no issues to report. I was personally running fine with 10.6.2, though.
Some weirdness: after the update the setup assistant and the silly little welcome movie played, and the calibration on my external monitor reverted to original. So far no issues, hope it fixed the random hangs and other crap I have been experiencing...

Plenty of forums around full of excited nerds in anticipation for these things. Yep.
No freezing up in Safari at this time. QuickTime is working without glitches. Download and install was at least 20 minutes...
What "sudo" tasks are you talking about? Sudo elevates your privileges, so I'm curious to know what maintenance you're doing that requires that, yet the system isn't already doing.
You might be getting a bit carried away before running updates.
Ok now can we get some OS 4.0 rumors? I do understand that one has nothing to do with the other, but x.x.3 updates are meaningless to me.
Why would you think that? If it took Apple this long to get an OS update out the door, it's likely to be even longer for HW updates.
People here need to stop living in their own little bubble where their particular needs and edge cases are of the foremost concern to Apple, Inc. OS X is a huge project with a lot of code. There will be bugs and there will be problems. Interoperating with Windows us nice, but I'm gonna tell you right now, a majority of the people out there using Macs don't do it and don't need it.
I keep hoping they will send out an update that will finally stop the F$%#ing crappy software known as Time Machine from causing my mac to hang up in the middle of something.
Seriously, I've seen this as a known issue for many. The software is great when it works, but most of the time it sucks the life out of my iMac, and when I'm wanting to restart or shut down, I have to unplug my external hd because the program doesn't know how to call it quits. If anything, they need to overhaul that annoying piece of @%IT!!
Pardon my French
I know that individual rhetorical accounts are typically useless when judging the scope of a software bug (on a forum, at least), but I've never had any trouble with Time Machine beyond the initial backup process. Back when leopard first came out, I found it impossible to complete the initial process, but nowadays, I have no issues with the software on any of the macs that live in my apartment.
Did Apple pull this update? My father just tried updating and is saying that software update is reporting no updates available. He's still on 10.6.2.
Manual Super User way to run automated scripts

10.6.2 was fine for me. The only issues I had were that both iCal and Mail would just crash for no reason. I'm on an Exchange 2007 server, so it could be that. I didn't have these issues with regular Mail/iCal in a non-Exchange setup. So I'm hoping with the iCal fix they talked about, that it will also take care of Mail, or any other Exchange related issue(s).
Here's hoping!

I know about those, but you aren't the OP are you?
The point was, "sudo tasks" is meaningless and makes it sound like he was throwing out random jargon. He could have said "I ran maintenance scripts" which would have been understood.
And the article you linked to says "Manually running maintenance scripts" not "Manual Super User way." It just so happens that those require elevated privileges to run.
I dunno, a subdued and quite release of other hardware might not be a bad idea, especially considering I'm sure there is going to be an influx of crowds at the Apple Stores to check out the iPads. The halo effect has traditionally been very good for Apple.
There's tons of time zones in Antarctica. I was at McMurdo and we used the time zone for NZ, but it varies from station to station. Only the south pole is in every time zone (technically, but not in reality)
