It’s the second Tuesday of the month, which means that Microsoft has posted its monthly set of Windows operating system updates and patches. For home users, it’s a good idea to set Windows for automatic updates. Check with your company’s IT staff for questions about work computers.
Users of the latest MacOS X version, Leopard, are receiving 180 megabytes of upgrades in yesterday’s release of version 10.5.2. See cNet, Macworld and MacObserver for more information. There are bug fixes galore, and fixes for Time Machine, the Dock and Stacks.
See my post of 13 February 2007 for more discussion of Windows Update and its big brother, Microsoft Update.

10.5.2 is essential for upgrading. definitely a lot more stable than 10.5.1
i’ve also noticed that there’s the ability to turn off the transparency of the menubar. which is a good thing because that thing drove me nuts.
also, menu options in the finder seem to be a bit zippier as well. still not a fan of the dock/shelf, but i’m growing to tolerate it.
