Happy Patch Tuesday

by billso on Tuesday, 12 February 2008

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.
