The trouble being with the MacBook Pro for the next version - that it'll be out around Snow Leopard potentially (See the Buyer's guide MBP product cycle) but a mobile Core i7 CPU is a way away currently.

Given the recent design changes it will just feature minor speed improvements and a larger hdd (and Bluray perhaps). Take a look at Intel's roadmap if you doubt me.
 
If Safari 4 is the last known issue, it'll be out by Friday at the latest.
 
Release Tomorrow?!

Did any of you guys notice that you CANNOT BUY 10.5 on Apple.com? Maybe it is just a fluke....but...check it out. Click on Buy Now...you get nowhere, they return you to the store home. http://www.apple.com/macosx/

My bet is this week something is going down!
 
Do you have any clue as to WHY Apple would make some run around like that with the link that I posted. Just ridiculous! Oh well...

While I love an update to OS X how is everyone doing with 10.5.6?

Consider I've rarely had problems with updates like some poor users.

For the most part it has been fine for me. No hardcore random crashing but I am getting some weird behavior.

Finder likes to hang when I am at home on my network and connected to my NAS. Finder never gracefully handles this and the problem is that when this happens I have to restart the computer and I almost always have to hold down the power button as something hangs the restart.

The only other problem I have had is that my Internet will randomly disconnect while I am at home. I even have it set to an assigned IP so I have no idea why it goes by by. Sometimes this disconnect will cause the first problem to happen and then a restart is necessary. If I figure out what is happening then I can turn off the airport card and turn it back on and it is good to go for the rest of the night.

Simple advice, don't use delta updates - combo updates alll the way.

Having such incremental updates like these (7 (after this releases) for Leopard in a year and a half are so refreshing compared to the few and very infrequent service packs for Windows OSes. I look forward to this release.

Windows Vista SP1's changelog is 30 pages long. We haven't yet seen documentation for SP2 but it seems to be pretty big also. Windows also gets way more updates than OS X on a *scheduled* basis, none of this "oh is it coming out next week" nonsense.

Your kind of thinking is still in the backwards Windows sucks OS X rules. Both have their strong points and weak points, the truth is that Windows has 80% marketshare, and OS X has 10. Even with their "crappy" Vista.

I hope they break the whole secrecy and start putting timelines of their fix schedules, hopefully IT departments will start looking into OS X for future deployment strategies.

That's a good point, because from time to time Apple implies that it is making a bigger effort to make inroads into the business community. But businesses want more transparency in release schedules so they can plan their own resource allocation; they really don't like secrecy to the point of paranoia.

Apple's secrecy with it's O/S releases are most of the time warranted because they often hold information on upcoming new products or features.

I'm on Apple's side on this debate. They should stay that way.


but..

hehe

Maybe next week we will see 10.5.7.

I disagree. For one thing, Apple generally makes quite a few details of its future OS releases public. Look at what they've previewed about Snow Leopard so far. (On the other hand, details of future hardware are kept quite secret.) But mainly, product roadmaps can be made public in such a way that demand is increased rather than reduced. Intel is quite public with its product roadmaps and hasn't been hurt by doing so.

I think so. At least I hope so.
 
I really hope 10.5.7 will fix this super-annoying Airport bug that leads to disconnections and fluctuating signal strength even when I am only 2 meters away from the router.
Maybe there is a developer around who can could post a simple YES or NO as to whether this bug is fixed in the latest builds...

You and many others as well. Every year or so Apple updates "zonk" my Airport network. This most recent problem - just as you describe - is ONLY impacting my quad 2.66 MacPro (Intel) - my iMac, Mini and MBP are able to access the network as before :eek:
