Mac OS X v10.5.8 Ready For Download

Posted by timothy on from the upgrades-are-for-wimps dept.

mysqlbytes writes "Apple has posted an anticipated v10.5.8 patch for Mac OS X, updating a number of components in the operating system, one of their last updates to Leopard. The update brings improvements to Safari, Airport, Bluetooth, among others and rolls out the latest OS X security fixes." Worth glancing at are some of the security-related notes on the update.

    Why wait until you update windows? Just use windows normally for a day or two and you're bound to encounter a safemode-requiring BSOD.

    Because, of course, "it just works" isn't really all that true, right? Funny, my Software Update never told me to "go download the Combo Update just in case...".

    I am confused on so many levels...

    1. Every Apple OS is perfect first try. Why the need for an update?
    2. Security patches. Apple has no security issues, ever. Why the need for an update?
    3. Shouldn't Apple charge for this? Like they do with their other service packs.
    4. Why does this not have a cute animal name?

    I am so confused this morning.
