Glad to see the progress from Apple. What's Apple's deal with the "Tuesday" releases? It's like the Apple holy day or something.

That sounds good to me! I also hope it helps with the issues I've been having with coming out of sleep mode. |

I was hoping for a major update to Front Row. Oh well, there's always hope for Snow Leopard.

| Only two hours left for getting the Combo. It looks to be slow going for now. |

My update was only 286MB in Software Update, but it wouldn't finish.
I got this message instead.
Have any of you guys seen that one before? |

I liked it better when Apple had a smaller market share. The servers were much faster then.  |

I'm got the same error message two or three times. I even tried trashing the SoftwareUpdate.plist file, but it came right back. It must be a server error or something on Apple's side. I'm going to wait until later to try again.  |

Well, that kinda sorta makes me feel better. I was thinking there might be something wrong with my MacBook Pro. I'm going to let things cool down for a while and try again later. |

No need to wait. I've actually had that problem before and repairing the disk permissions was the key to letting me continue. |

Well this is unexpected-- the 10.5.7 update fixed my missing Windows folder icon under the Startup Disk Preferences.
Previously, I had to use Boot Champ to boot to my Windows 7 partition. |
