    It also does a fsck -y to the system... and runs the rest of the standard UNIX maintenance jobs, like log rotation, etc. There is a slim chance you would see a noticeable difference.

    The above list is not correct for the 10.2.6 update. Software Update just says:

    The 10.2.6 Update delivers enhanced functionality and improved reliability for the following applications, services and technologies: Address Book, Graphics, Printing, OpenGL, and PC Card and USB hub device compatibility.

    For detailed information on this Update, please visit this website: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n25448

    The too-long list in the parent is probably the full list of changes from 10.2 to 10.2.6

    Not everyone is sitting at 10.2.5. New computers on the shelf, as an example, are at 10.2.3.

    Like I said: The too-long list in the parent is probably the full list of changes from 10.2 to 10.2.6. What part of 'probably' in the parent caused you confusion ;-?

    But seriously, in the context of this specific update that's just come out it's not very interesting (not to say misleading) to list all changes of earlier updates, attributing them all to 10.2.6.

    For the specific changes from 10.2.1 to 10.2.5, if that's what you're interested in, just check these Apple knowledgebase articles: 107036, 107140, 107263, 107362, 25405 (for instance 107036)

    I could make you a list of changes since 10.0, or even Mac OS 7.5.... that would look even more impressive. But it wouldn't help anybody much.
