I will take your questions seriously.

More and more I'm finding the situation very depressing.
Well...
I can commiserate to a degree with those experiencing bugs in Tiger, but I myself am not one of them. It appears that most of the issues with Tiger at this point arose from less than thorough testing. I work at a Reseller and none of the computers here have had any major bugs appear, and none at all that I can find. I'm not arguing that Tiger is perfect as is but that some of the problems people are having are likely a result of a short QA period. I'm sure that forums such as this will help Apple correct problems that should've been caught earlier in Tiger.
All that said, I'm totally and utterly in love with 10.4.1 while I also look forward to the enhancements offered in 10.4.2 =)

Enlighten Me
I'm not entirely familiar with the situation but I believe it had something to do with a falling out of sorts between Apple (who wanted to hold the summer expo in NY) and IDG (who wanted to hold it in Boston). My understanding was that IDG 'won' but lost the official presence of Apple at the expo in so doing... which begs the quest: what the $#%$! was IDG thinking?
Fill in any details I'm missing please =)

Can't Find The Combo
Anyone have any luck finding the Combo Updater yet?
This link leads to a disk image of 44 MB. twice the size of what my G5 wanted, but it is not clear this is a Combo updater.

Tiger 10.4.2 vs Flash MX
There appears to be a problem when updating to 10.4.2 when you have a registered copy of Flash on the computer. A little late for you now, but Flash should be deactivated before running the 10.4.2 installer from the Help>Transfer Your Software License menu.
I guess you should try re-installing Flash and see if it works?

I updated my powerbook to 10.4.2 last night, and now the SystemUIServer process
is eating up all the cpu cycles (taking up 95%+ of the cpu). I rebooted, killed the SystemUIServer process,
killed a lot of the running programs, etc., to see if the problem goes away, but no
luck... The laptop was actually getting very hot because (i'm assuming) the cpu
was working so hard. Anyone else have this problem? Damn, might have to re-install

Dashboard at fault?
I saw that too. The PowerBook actually got too hot to touch at the back left corner. When I closed all my open Dashboard widgets, SystemUIServer dropped back to less than 1%. Methinks a widget had gone bad.

I've having problems as well with my laptop running very sluggish. It's running much slower than before the upgrade. I do think I noticed the change after the upgrade but can't be sure.
As others have mentioned, even when in an idle situation, it sounds as of something is running in the background which is bogging everything down.
Any suggestions?

Well, found another thread on a widget that was eating a ton of CPU called "To Do Tracker" by Monkey Business Labs. I realized I had it running. When I turned it off, everything went back to normal and is running fine.
I'd not heard of widgets being CPU hogs but this one certainly is.
Whats with this?
Noticed very slow performance and found about 4 process' owned by nobody running crazy. The main culpret was "find" clocking in at 60% usage. Fans were whirring in and out and the machine was pretty cold. Started from sleep with about 3 days uptime. Checked Spotlight to see if it was reindexing or something. Nothing. Then it just stopped before I could kill the process'. Weird. Searched for a root process called find, as you can imagine that didn't turn up anything useful. Anyone know what that could be.
