Mac OS X 10.5.2 Inches Closer... Build 9C23 Seeded

Working PAN Bluetooth networking would be nice. Unfortunately I don't know how I'm going to get the 10.5.2 update if it is included, as the only reason I need PAN Bluetooth networking is because my broadband is down and I can only use my usage-limited 3G :D

Hi yes im in the uk, i do hope its tonight ive got all
my stuff backed up just so i can do a fresh install
of leopard,then i'll update from apples site so i get
the whole hog. Here's to wishful thinking as this
next tuesday lark is wearing thin
 
And when it finally arrives

when 10.5.2 finally arrives the clamour to get the download will be unprecedented and will no doubt crash all the servers. Pity we can't pre-order our download like you could pre-order a MBA. (Then find it in shops before your order arrived) apart from the occaisional crashing mail, and Adobe CS3 it is with Maxon C4D that I have biggest headaches. This has to be the most anticipated update in Mac history.....shades of OS8.6. (which very nearly put me out of business) It amazes me as consumers we put up with this nonsense, I think it is because we hope for what we feel we deserve, our loyalty to be appreciated and respected. Any predictions on 10.5.3 - End of Feb 08 perhaps? I have a feeling I will be needing that all the more..
 
i have never been this excited about a mac os x .x update, and I don't even have any problems with leopard! i guess i just like being up-to-date :)
 
i really dont needit either, its more the wait,

like waiting for christmas, but when the day comes your parents say "oh well we will have to wait another week before you get any presents" then the next week comes and still "oh your present isnt ready yet, but here you can have a small present to hold you over"

its driving everyone banana's
 
Actually noone can really tell when Apple will release the 10.5.2 update. We know it is pretty close to release but we don't know how close...
I hope it will be today, but I prefer them to delay the release till its ready.
 
I told you so...

On the 24th, a member said (in regards to this thread), "This means the 8800GT is likely around the corner..."

I replied back (post #12), "Nope, no thumbs up on this one.
It just means 10.5.2 is delayed even further.
Which probably means the 8800GT is also further delayed."

Rumors had it that 10.5.2 would be released at MWSF.
That rumor was started by MacBidouille. AppleInsider and MacRumors jumped on the bandwagon.

Look at the thread's title, "Mac OS X 10.5.2 Inches Closer...
It's been three weeks since MWSF.
It's been a week since this news article was posted.
Mac OS X 10.5.2 inches closer to what? Christmas?

What is very irritating about the whole thing is I feel like I've been waiting forever for the new Mac Pro to come out.
Apple finally introduces it on January 8th. I ordered it on the 8th.
There is still no word as to when I will finally receive my 8800GT Mac Pro.
I'm not sure but the release of the 8800GT Mac Pro may be tied to the release of 10.5.2.
The glorious waiting game is driving me batty!
 
SOAP BOX TIME...

Lately it seems Apple has been biting off more than it can chew. Too many hardware products and too many software products competing to be released.

It started with 10.5 being delayed six months so iPhone could be developed and released. Continued with the long awaited release of the new Mac Pro. MacBook Air missed MWSF by two weeks, even though it was announced there. 10.5.2 is delayed, AppleTV refresh is delayed.

And on top of all that Apple stock is taking a beating. Not all are directly related but I think it behooves Apple to consider just how much it can realistically take on at one time, so that many of their markets aren't simultaneously waiting on product, whether rumored or announced.

Just my $0.02

I think that's pretty true.

They have too many things going on to deal with - even within the same departments. They have over 10 iPod firmwares to maintain!
 
Maybe the trickle of app updates claiming "Mac OS X Compatibility" improvements is related to what that Article says about the size issue.

Splitting things will mean users can download it easier and may not need to download certain things at all.
 
"the final release of 10.5.2 will most likely come around build 9C40 and should arrive well before the end of February — quite possibly in as little as two weeks"

WTF!!!!!!!!!!?????????
