[cite] Puttabong:[/cite]Hi, Naquaada,
I meant that 10.5.4 might be a fake because Snow Leopard 10.6 is already confirmed :-)

http://www.apple.com/macosx/snowleopard/

However, it's scheduled to ship in about a year - so we could see 10.5.4 before.

Next year is a long way off. We'll definitely be seeing 10.5.9 before Snow Leopard is released. The 10.5.4 update is more than likely genuine as it was seeded to developers last week. For those who are interested the build number is 9D34 and the seed note cites AirPort, AFP, Active Directory/Directory Services, iCal, iChat, ppp, printing, ruby and samba as focus areas.

It depends on what type of ADC membership you have. Only premium users will get the seeds. Like I mentioned above, it's already been seeded.

I hope the name changes. 'Snow Leopard' is a bit silly after releasing 'Leopard' some time before. Sounds like a bit like a sub-version, in Tiger this could habe be 'Siberian Tiger', 'Indian Tiger' and so on. BTW, if would be the first MacOS version which has two words in the 'Nickname'.

It's much better than OS X 10.5 Service Pack One :-P

I also thought something like this, but wouldn't say it loud :-D

Yeah I like the name. There will be no new features, Apple said. It will be an optimization of Leopard. Slimmer, faster and core improvement.

I hope it's not so improved as Quicktime 7.5 :-P

I suspect Snow Leopard will be what Puma was to Cheetah, though Leopard is in no way anything like Cheetah in terms of usability and speed, I'm just making comparisons as 10.1 was one huge bug fix with added optimisations and it was free.

I believe the new iPhone will require 10.5.4 and iTunes 7.7, so we should see those updates soon before the iPhone 3G comes out on July 11th.

Due to the AMD Updater bug I found out that the 10.5.4 Delta Update needs NO patching. here's the log file.
The system was rebooting immediately, no gfx patches or other things neccessary. But don't be too euphoric, the system freezes sometimes when you click to fast on the finder. The mouse is still moveable. I'm just running Onyx.

EDIT: After Onyx the system still freezes. I removed all open finder windows and logged out. I logged in again and started the AMD Updater, it showed me AirPort Utility and Quicktime 7.5. Now the mds process for Spotlight is working at 140% (Dual-Core CPU). The system is still working, no freezes.

EDIT2: After finishing the Spotlight rebuilding the system seems to work fine. BTW: I installed the AutoPatchDaemon before, and I had a weird error message. Maybe this was also a problem. Some Xbench gfx tests are a bit better as in 10.5.3.

EDIT3: 10.5.4 doesn't forgive anything before it's finshed booting. I installed Quicktime 7.5, a click to early and it freezed. But installing QT 7.5 was no good idea, now the system freezes very soon. I'll revert to 10.5.3 later and test it again.
