This update totally caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting it until WWDC at the earliest.

on May 28, 2008 at 04:37 PM - LINKIm surprised that Apple provides extensive details of this update in comparison to the details provided (none) for my last firmware update for my iMAC.
From the update list the one I was REALLY looking for are the Spaces updates :
-Resolves an issue in which switching to a different space and returning back to the original space may reorder the application windows with a different active window. NEVER HAPPENED TO ME
Resolves an issue in which activating an application from the Dock switches to a different space, even if there is a window for that application in the current space. HAPPENED ALL THE TIME !
Fixes an issue in which Command-Tab may incorrectly switch to a new space. HAPPENED A LOT !
Addresses reliability issues with Spaces when syncing preferences over .Mac. I DON’T USE .MAC
Has a recent switcher, and a loooong time BSD user and fanatic, I was used to VWM embedded in all the gui’s out there. I really dont see how Mac users ( that are doing multitasking) have been living without Spaces !
Will let you know if this update fixes my issues.
on May 29, 2008 at 09:29 AM - LINKI still haven’t installed Leopard on my 17” MacBook Pro. I have been dragging my feet regarding the installation and yes I’m a multi-tasker.
Initially, I was going to wait until I updated my MacBook Pro when the big upgrade comes out. I usually wait a few months, definitely not an early converter, but most likely I’ll just move on to Leopard for this computer.
