Yeah, and Friday would be fine for me.Hopefully it will be soon now, and with new hardware support.
I'm rather excited bout the next release. I got onto leopard when it was at .4 release n was quite solid for the most part. .3 on SL should get us all a step closer to that. Not that .2 is bad, just iTunes really but that's blooat n we all know it. Lol

I'd like for the update to fix copying to an NTFS formatted hard drive. It's getting rather annoying that I can't copy some important files to my flash drive because of this. Also, another persistent issue I've experienced is the self-assigned IP address one.
Ditto here...I have no idea what these people talk about sometimes; I wish I could smoke the same thing they do to get so high.
Snow Leopard is fairly stable for me on the 3 computers at the house. I only have 2 real issues.
- The Mac Pro audio bug on my 09 model.
- Safari seems to crash often when looking at RSS feeds.
Snow Leopard has been fine on my MacBook since it's first release, except some minor app compatibility problems to begin with.
I just wish Apple would allow me the following things:
- Option for the old style Expose, I prefer the bigger previews, I used to use it for looking at several programs at once, especially when ReWireing. The new expose makes this impossible.
- Option to disable the Dashboard. I know it can be done via command line, and I have disabled it, but Apple should support it in it's system preferences. I never use dashboard and it's pointless me having 20mb of my ram taken for nothing.
- Option to have a 2d dock. I'm sorry but I like my OS resources as low as possible. I couldn't care less about the looks.

Again, what's the fuss? The 2D Dock has been there since forever, just use it on the sides of the screen.
Now if you're talking about changing the default 3D behavior at the bottom of the screen, just use the following:

Unfortunately, unless Apple decides to awesomely surprise us, we're going to have to wait until September for such an update.
Personally, I wish Apple was pursuing making Quicktime X more feature complete at a more aggressive pace. For example, I would love to see hardware acceleration get spread beyond the h.264 support, as well as adding compatibility to play more than a couple file types natively. I'm hoping this update's "compatibility" component for Quicktime X is taking the first step, in that regard.
IPhoto fix (I hope)
I sure hope this update fixes the problem with IPhoto's full screen editing and slide show for photos that have been modified (sharpened. etc). Screen goes green or red when trying to view these pictures, Seems to effect only the older Intel Imacs wit the RadeonX1600 graphics card.

If you want writing support for NTFS then grab a copy of:

Which will do the trick.
This would be awesome. It's the main feature that I really would like to see added to OS X. Unfortunately, I doubt it will be implemented until 10.7, if ever.
I actually do have that and it still won't work!
I've seen many others with this problem on the Apple discussion boards and no one seems to have a genuine solution to this ongoing problem. I'm pretty sure it might have something to do with Apple having re-written Finder entirely. My confidence in the company has been slipping lately...

Try the Tuxera NTFS 2010.1 trial. Tuxera has NTFS-3G as its base code with improvements. Its not free though. I use it, I reckon its faster than the Pure NTFS-3G driver.
Uninstall NTFS-3g First.

And have you upgraded to the latest version? (2010.1) I've been running it on 10.6.2 without a single flaw - the performance is crap but it does work; what errors occur? if you want help it is best to prove some information.
10.6.2 was definitely a "jump over". I had to roll 5 machines back to 10.6.1 due to heat issues and 30-40% performance drops. My Macbook Pro, for example, used to handle Logic Pro at a respectable level but now I cannot even play more than 5 seconds of the demo song before it overloads the CPU. So it was back to 10.6.1.
This couldn't come soon enough.
