Is it me or is 10.6.2 taking a long time.... I'm not saying anything good or bad, it just feels like a lot of work is taking place with this update.
Well with the big guest account bug still at large I am surprised that this particular update seems to have been merely strolling towards us, but it certainly isn't one of the longer waits.
The writeup here suggests this seed did actually do some things that some people might notice, and better to not have to wait until 10.6.3 for those. The comparison to how MS patches might also well take into account that they don't seem to wait on a bunch of patches in order to bundle them. However, a humourous response to such might just say they need a lot more patches. I guess waiting for stuff in 10.6.2 is preferable to reinstalling Vista and being told that there were 167 updates to do ... before Service Pack 1 could be applied.
Is that because Tuesday has come and gone? I can tell you that updates are not only released on Tuesday. So it may still arrive this week.
I wonder what's taking so long. I feel as if they are possibly waiting for another hardware upgrade first? I know what Schiller said, but speculation is fun... and the point of this forum!
It's not even close to how long 10.5.2 took, and people were desperate for that one.
Not so much that Tuesday has come and gone, more like that I doubt they will release it by the end of the week if they just sent out another build.
I had the blue box too....
After I upgraded MainMenu to the latest version, it went away though!
Great, but does it fix the battery issues?
Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, the battery life on my 15" MacBook Pro (mid-2009) plummeted from 7 or 8 hours to barely 4. That 50% decline came all of a sudden, after the upgrade, with only 60 cycles on the battery.
I don't get how Apple can say there are no major fixes ... they need to get on this.

I do not understand why people are impatient and want the update now, as far as I'm concerned the longer Apple take with 10.6.2 the more stable it is going to be, rather than rush out a minor update which fixes some of the problems and then have to release further updates to fix the bugs they missed.
Apple should be releasing 10.7 by now.
8 weeks since the release of 10.6.1 - this is a relatively short time, for a fairly significant update.
Does it fix the problem with people denting their Unibody Macbooks and/or cracking the screen, and then posting pictures to Macrumours?
You can criticize windows all you want, but should had they discovered a bug like the "guest account bug" in Windows 7, the patch for at least that problem would be out in less than a week. Then they can continue working on .2 or MacOsX Martian Cat, I don't care.
I know, know, it's a MacOS bug, so it is minor by definition, because MacOS is superior by definition even before it's released and Apple, in direct contact with God, knows better.

Being that the alleged bug, with its remote set of conditions, affected perhaps .0001% of SL users, it hardly compares to the MS debacle,
which wiped out crucial contact info for +2,000,000 T-Mobile users.
My 2007 model only gets about 2:45 with a relatively fresh battery (60 cycles). Hoping for improvement, but I guess power consumption is only getting up as SL is capable of using more system resources than before, and all those chips eat more power while not idling...
