I'm getting impatient.

This update better be perfect, they've spend a lot of time on it.

Then don't be impatient. I for one would prefer for Apple to take several more weeks if they need to so it can be perfected so we won't be drooling for 10.5.3.
 
And here comes SP3 in 3/2008, right on schedule. :p

I was thinking if it comes out 7/2008, it'd be perfect!

XP was released 10/2001
SP1 was released 9/2002
SP2 was released 8/2004
SP3 was released 7/2008

:)

Some of us are waiting for SP3 you know. ;)

The loudest complaints seem to be from people upset over minor, piffling, stupid issues.
I'll try to somewhat redeem this thread then.

1. No CUPS protocol network browsing enabled by default. It was enabled in Tiger. Edit /etc/cups/cups.conf on my OS X?
2. Flaky SMB connectivity from client to and server.
3. Flaky ssh, SMB,and VNC connectivity between OS X and Windows on client version
4. Time Machine failures due to bad or incomplete Spotlight indexes that require a restart

innovation has to start somewhere.
I have to agree. I know a lot of tiny programs and programmers that I can't live without. I've even paid for their software. :D
 
I would actually prefer to see the AppleTV update first, while the 10.5.2 update will hopefully bring better stability, etc., right now Nested Folders is the only function I am looking forward to - and I currently get that with Quay and Hierarchical Dock. I would love to see Stack of Apps on the left side of the dock for categorizing.grouping applications, but it seems that was in the previews and left out of the final build, so it is doubtful that will make it to 10.5 at any point. We can always hope.

I agree, I don't care if it takes another month for 10.5.2 to come out, I'm not having any problems with 10.5.1 and I think it's a pretty good operating system.
 
For general use, 10.5.1 is great.

Currently I'm having to wait on .2 to finally fix the Active Directory Plug-in which has been broken since day one. Can't move any machines in the office over to the domain, then I can't install Leopard.
 
Our AEBS WDS works very nicely with 10.5.1 - we have had a couple of cases where internet connection failed upon waking from sleep. Turning airport off and then on from the icon reestablishes the connection in about 6 seconds total time.
 
Apple is just stalling because they know how pissed people are gonna be when they find out they are being charged for the update.:p

I am afraid Apple might charge for this update. Would Apple even do this? Charge for a software update? :confused: :(
 
Yes I wonder what this issue is. I also have an SR Macbook and have had zero wireless problems....:confused:

You're lucky. I had zero issues till 4 days ago, 3 kernel panics in 3 days and I knew what the wireless issues everyones talking about are!
(I'm lucky that the extent that I"ve been affected though, some people have had it much worse)
Basically the airport driver crashes under continuous sustained load, eg bittorrent clients. Takes the whole computer down with it.

Not for bug fixes, which is what this'll be.
 
What drop outs ? My santa rosa macbook is just fine with wireless.

I got my MB in september 2007. So it's not SR.

Anyway, the wireless signal will drop in and out constantly, making the internet unusable. Sometimes simply turning on and off your airport connection will solve the problem, other times it takes a reboot. And then it's fine. It's been extensively commented on at the Apple discussion forums. Many people are talking about it. But not everyone has it.

no.
 
Could be worse...

Vista SP1 is done, and not available until March so the new systems ship with it the same time it's available to upgrade with.

Talk about lame... worse than SP3 even!

I got my MB in February, 2007 and I don't have wifi drop out issues. I do have issues with my Airport receiving "Self assigned IP" but I think it's a problem with the router I have as I don't have that problem in any other hotspot.

10.5.1 is pretty stable and works great for me. 10.5.2 can take as long as they want as far as I'm concerned.
 
This is nearly a joke. I'm a little tired of kernel panics from inserting a DVD. Hurry up already. OK, now that I'm done whining, I can say that apart from that, 10.5.1 has been nothing but a joy.
 
Ugh. If the "imminent" MBP release is waiting for 10.5.2, then I guess this means at least another week of waiting for MBP updates. How depressing.
