Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.8

I love this, and I totally agree, but the reason I would never post that is because people don't like to be told what you do. Now everyone is just going to quote you and reply with something they think is clever and funny.

I knew it would happen, but as lame as many of those attempted joke reply posts are, I still prefer them to the "I'm downloading it now" posts.

There don't appear to be any noticeable changes to the App Store and VPNOD is still working, albeit slower than normal. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the update, sometimes it's just slow.

That's good to hear..It took quite a while to load the desktop, dock, and file bar after updating to 10.6.8. Everything else is going great.

Now I need to update my signature..
 
Those who are not downloading the update, just curious as to why you aren't.

Any reason? Is it that the servers may be slower now that everyone is downloading it?

Lion is not a major release, it's a point release. A major release would be going from OS 9 -> OS X, or sometime in the near future OS X -> OS XI

Tiger was a pointless release, Leopard was a pointless release, snow leopard was less than a pointless release... But all in all, OSX has changed in major ways.

Same here. I'm on a fence. I need OpenGL 3.2 support because I want to learn to program in it (I really need to learn to program in it) but I also need to make sure that:

Maya 2011 0r 2012
ZBrush
Mudbox
Houdini
Unity3D
Photoshop CS5
Corona SDK
Coda
TextMate
Corel Painter 11

and I think thats it for super critical software work in it first. I can drop Houdini and Mudbox since I can get what I want from ZBrush for Mudbox and I don't use Houdini that much but it is useful.

Once I know those work I'll be good to upgrade!
 
The next step would be to start tweeting your download status, I guess.

Okay, download's coming out.

firstly none of those you listed were pointless releases. Secondly, why do you use Macs if you feel that way about it?
 
Downloaded and installed on a 13' Macbook Pro and 21 inch iMac, haven't noticed any changes at all. On bootup for the MBP a pop up said, "You are running GetBackUpAgent for the first time", that was about it.

Why restart my computer and wait for it to download? It is not even brining any new features or anything. There is no reason. Why ARE people so excited for this?
