Installed the combo update and all looks well so far. Speed improvements are the most noticeable thing for me other than stacks, time machine, and menu bar changes.
Got a tip for us?

I'm not being too cocky though until i give it a thorough test tomorrow. But i have to say, so far so good!! Been surfing around for 10 minutes and it's great!

10 minutes is an achievement?
Yes, the issue meant that any amount of time was an achievement.
One nice thing I have noticed - I can do time machine backups on my mac book wirelessly while operating on battery power. Before 10.5.2 it would only backup while off the battery.
okay been surfing for about 2 hrs and dropped out once
That sucks.
You know, I have problems with wireless at home and at work, with Macs and PCs, and with Netgear, Linksys and Belkin. No specific pattern other than my MBP sucks at bit more than my company's three Dells.
Is "N" f***ed up? Is it WPA? WPA2?
I never had these problems five years ago when I was on WEP.

The only problems I have are with WEP and Netgear and Leopard, everything else seems to work fine.
Upgraded to 10.5.2 and still no issues it did take forever to install though... almost 20 mins.

Strange. Why didn't they just include it in the upgrade to 10.5.2?
Because us PPC guys don't need it.
Sheesh. Always catering to the least common denominator instead of the masses.

Probably a stupid question but how are you backing up to time machine wirelesly?
Are you using a NAS device or do you have a external hd hooked up to an airport station? I wasn't aware that time machine would let you back up wirelessly to an external hd/NAS..
I"m looking to do something similar but I don't want to pay so much for time capsule when it comes out..
any help would be appreciated!
I have an external HD hooked up to another mac that's on the same network that I am backing up to. As far as I know, they still have not "fixed" the airdisk issue.
Not so - My Power Mac G4 required it. But that's because my video card is a Radeon 9800; some video cards are covered by it, others aren't.
Speed of computer on the whole has increased for me
Safari seems a bit slicker speed wise
Safari load up is the same though

My first impressons of 10.5.2
Really haven't noticed any significant performance improvement. The time machine improvements are good. I did the upgrade to keep current.

Uploading to iDisk slower
After upgrading to 10.5.2, uploading a file to my iDisk is now much slower...speed used to average 93kb/s, now it jumps around from 20kb/s to 62kb/s...I was hoping this upgrade would provide improvements...this is really annoying.

Screensaver
I did the update, got the graphics update after 10.5.2 loaded as well.
The first thing I noticed, I've not used time machine yet, not turned it on, or put it on the top bar. After 10.5.2 update, it put the "status" indicator on menu bar all on it's own.
Secondly, I NEVER used screensavers because all of them make my computer fry, and the fan sounds like a jet engine. After this update, the ss came on, and no fan noise. Thank god.

The TS menu icon is a new feature in 10.5.2 that is turned on by default (see 10.5.2 release notes).
