Only three weeks after the initial Leopard release (and it had been in the pipeline for some time already). And that was the only time Apple has ever released a numbered update for OS X version N-1 after version N came out.
Got a tip for us?

NFS problem solved
And if anyone was wondering, I found a solution to the NFS problem. It turns out I had forgotten to bind the NFS server to a port and the firewall was causing a bit of trouble for the client
(the SL machine being client) (and yes, I upgraded the server's linux OS simultaneously with the SL install on my Mac Pro .. so some settings were screwed up). So I fixed my configuration at the server end and now my SL is trouble free .

Front Row. When watching a movie or TV show in Front Row, it only gets marked as partially watched when the movie or show is completed. This is my only problem with it because it's the feature I use the most.
Color management is more tricky under Snow Leopard.
Some applications simply stopped working, like X-Rite's Match 3.

They should fix the occasional beachballing that appears sometimes with extensive usage of the Language Input HUD, i.e. if I switch quickly between language inputs by using the HUD, I will occasionally get the beachball that lasts quite long... It gets quite annoying at times.
That's exactly why I don't think there will be a seed. That and Jobs might announce a SDK even though it's not WWDC.
And it could also be, if the tablet rumors are true, that Apple's programmers are busy with the final SW version for that device and can't put a lot of attention on 10.6.3 right now.
Finally a seed. If there are there any secrets there I'm sure someone will find out soon.
Sure, but we don't know how the developers are assigned. If the tablet device (assuming it's real) will actually use OS X, it wouldn't be unusual for the OS developers to be in crash development mode to fix bugs. Remember when Leopard's release was delayed six months largely because software engineers were shifted to get the iPhone out?
I'm sure it was said Apple didn't really want to push testing on developers during the holiday season, that is why it has been a while for this seed to be released.
