Let's face it - it's all about me 
I posted a comment over a month ago this thing was going to come out in like 1-2 weeks. At this point all they're trying to do is make me look bad
I swear if this 5.x release was a soldier I'd darn near call it MIA by now. It's like we get a homing beacon once a week that it's still out there somewhere but we sure as heck can't find it.

This is the main one, for me: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9042218&tstart=0
If you use Time Machine and FileVault, and have a Time Capsule, your home directory is never backed up. At all.
I'd like 10.5.7 to come out so that I don't have to keep doing manual backups - and I don't think I should have to pay for another piece of backup software, since I ostensibly paid for Time Machine when I bought Leopard.
I tend to agree with bedifferent's view that Apple is stalling on this release because of some new features and /or having to integrate with other hardware or.......
The new product rumors point to a very interesting spring and summer - Go Apple

It's not all about you. It's me too.

My feeling is that the Mac OS team is waiting for the next update of the Safari 4 beta. Probably the Safari team is behind schedule, and 10.5.7 is stalled because of that. In the meantime, the OS maintainers are using the time to incorporate new fixes to the fix pack.
Either way I want that rumored, shiny, aluminum, multi-touch Mighty Mouse. My life just wouldn't be the same without it.
Take your time Apple!!!! Don't be like Microsoft giving out tiny updates they forgot to fix almost every week.
I haven't had a Windows Update break my machine in my 10 years of using Windows Update.
Sadly I can't say the same for OS X.
It feels snappier! really!
I don't know if it is just me but it really feels snappier.
It's runs smoother than 10.5.6 and I definitly have less rainbow spinner.
Don't have to use resetsync.pl anymore. It dosen't jam syncing with mobileme.

If you're on the MacBook Pro, you can get out of that state with some combo, which I always forget until it happens, of closing/opening the case and pressing the power button (or is it the brightness buttons?). Unfortunately, none of that will probably work on the mini.
Yes, I had not been seeing these exiting sleep issues for quite a while before 10.5.6 (like since 10.4 on PPC).
i think we will be seeing SL after labor day-too many informed sources note this; the OLD release date was June-So I held off buying 10.5.4 retail until a couple months ago-when I heard it was Sept I went ahead and bought Leo, wanting to upgrade from Tiger instead of waiting 8 more months
I think it all boils down to luck really. My 2.4 unibody pro was flawless no problems what so ever. I would say they are not worse in quality than their competitors if not better.
Lol, that made my day aswell, they must be so proud.
This actually freaked me out a little bit.. (quoted from your same link)..
I crave that mouse. Maybe, during WWDC? I hope..So, good to hear that Apple is taking it's time getting 10.5.7 polished. No point being momentarily happy that a new release is done if minutes later it turns out to break more than it fixes!
I've had exactly the opposite experience with my Windows PC, I had an update fail with an unknown error and from that time onwards - Windows Update never ever worked again. Until I installed Ubuntu on it
It has been the opposite for me. Software Update never broke my machine since I first started using Mac OS X (I think it was 10.4.2). But there were a few incidants where Windows Update screwed up the system. Most recently was the update to Vista SP1. Apparently the update failed and broke something with the filesystem, even the Windows Installer DVD would BSOD. So I had to boot the machine up from a Linux LiveCD so I could fix the file system.
