Updated at 11 p.m. PDT with link to troubleshooting support.
Apple on Tuesday released OS X 10.5.7, an update to its Leopard operating system that is intended to fix a variety of bugs and security issues, as well as provide expanded hardware support.
Several security issues are addressed in the update, including issues related to Apache Web server, PHP, CoreGraphics, and Safari. The update patches three separate vulnerabilities in Apple Type Services, QuickDraw Manager, and WebKit, all of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.
Among the hardware support enhancements is additional RAW image support for third-party digital cameras--a format that allows for retention of more image information than JPEGs. The update also improves performance of video playback and cursor movements for recent Macs with Nvidia graphics components and resolves an issue with Dvorak keyboard layout in Mac OS X 10.5.6.
OS X 10.5.7 includes patches for issues related to network stability and performance, as well as issues related to logging in to Gmail and synching contacts on Yahoo. The update also includes a patch to improve the accuracy of several Dashboard widgets, including Unit Converter, Stocks, Weather, and Movies.
Improvements to iCal include improved reliability with CalDav as well as automatic syncing with MobileMe. Apple has also improved its Parental Controls and applications restrictions.
The update, which is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard, is available through a standalone installer or Software Update.
Some users have complained about installation issues related to the update. For troubleshooting tips, see MacFixIt.

CNET, you are very slow with the news, this information was on MacRumors nearly 3 hours ago - Get with the times RSS, Twitter?
I just did a rare thing by defending your OS to prevent trolling the lease you could do is not feed it.
Coming close to the size of a XP iso I wouldn't necessarily call it a tiny update.
A PROPERLY updated machine over the last year or so would not list any of those things other than 10.5.7, which still weighs in at 250+ MB (not 400+), but it does include a new version of Safari which is 40MB on it's own.

Sick! So you are trying to tell me the Mac OS X Team regardless of their high level development processes were not aware of these problems as far back as mid 2008? Its very obvious that Leopard users have beta testing Mac OS X Leopersy since October 2007.
Mactards annoy me as much as anyone, but I have to side with them on this one. Every OS has bugs. I would be more concerned if an OS did not release bug fixes every once in awhile. Good for Apple for getting the stuff taking care of.
The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be saved.
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple".
Still, 50 to 70MB of security patches is pretty substantial. That's a good thing. Code will never be perfect, though.
Also, Safari 3.2.3 is more brisk at loading and switching among pages.
OMG Priceless!!!
For a second I though this is windows! Then I saw how little Trolls there were! might as well do my part LOL
Does it fix the problem that YOU CAN SORT BY SIZE or list the file sizes in search results!!!
Macs dont have 3ed party software (in comparison to Windows)
Sry pal .. you set me up = )

LOL
And that's that, Apple rules!
i find both os's have pros an cons, i prefer mac
God dammit the internet the internet is slow again!
1. OSX has basic features. There is only the user interface, with flashy windows and popups
2. No descent software support. You are locked down with the preinstalled osx applications, yet most of the major software companies doesn?t have descent working applications for OSX (excluding Adobe of course)
3. True, windows used to get blue screens, however, in my MAC, there is no blue screen, there is a SYSTEM FREEZE. Have you tried sending the MAC to sleep and waking it up again!!!! Well, it will freeze.
4. The same problem with overheating since the introduction of Intel CPUs?.and still am using the newest ?ultimate, most beautiful, engineered? design, which in other words is ?overheated aluminum cover?.
5. OSX is full of holes, what an OS that the users have to pay for every service pack!!! Now we are in 10.5.7!! 7 patches, 5 service packs on the last patch!!!!! And each update is in the 100s of MegaBytes!!!
6. MACs = expensive PCs with aluminum casing. Basic hardware (I paid 3000$ to get two usb slots!!! Not even HDMI, nothing at all)
7. A computer should be used for productivity and not showing off some flashy user interface that doesn?t do anything except impress children.
2.-You really haven't worked with a lot of mac software, have you?
3.-Sleep issues can be remedied. Try support or discussion boards. It is normally a simple fix (I haven't had this problem with my 1st gen. Intel MBP).
4.-ALL LAPTOPS GET HOT. I know it is not perfect, but the aluminum helps to dissipate the heat from the inside (to keep from killing internal components). My brother had a top of the line alienware laptop (about three years ago). That was impossible to put on your lap after a certain amount of time. It lasted just over a year before parts of the motherboard literally melted due to intense heat (all the fans continued to work after post check, so that wasn't the issue). My point is, if you feel so strongly about the heat/issue, don't buy intel next time (oh, AMD will have the same problem BTW).
5.-Paying for service packs?? You're kidding right? "Now we are in 10.5.7!! 7 patches, 5 service packs on the last patch!!!!! And each update is in the 100s of MegaBytes!!! "--not making much sense there. You should really look up the definition of "service pack".
6. and 7.-Did you not notice the number of ports on the computer before you bought it?? I agree that a few more ports would be nice, but fault falls on you if you bought the item knowing what it had (or didn't have).
Freakin' priceless!!
The OS of a computer does not control the fans the motherboard and processor do.
ex: the mobileme drama.......2 weeks of bug fixing and service down, AFTER RELEASE :) hehe
and it is just a copy of windows live mesh and other technologies.
didnt you notice that the multitouch was a copy of microsoft surface? but with much less capabilities?
2. give me a software vendor, besides adobe, that have its MAC OS version that includes MORE FEAURES than the ones of Windows! or at least with similar ones. Even IM clients are basic in mac.
3. this means that your OS is buggy, and i need support groups.....
how come now it is BUGGY, yet IT IS PERFECT and NEVR HAS ISSUES?
i have MAC BOOK PRO 2.53 GHZ. 15 inch.....and when i send it to sleep, it never wakes up....or it does, but it is unusable till i kill it.....
4. yeah, if i touch the top of my laptopn, on the top left corner of th keyboard i would burn my hand!!!....i
at work, i have an IBM, 5 yrs old laptop.....running VISUAL STUDIO and SQL SERVER, and yet, it never failed, not even once.......
the overheating is a problem with the internal fan controls....
apple is so obsessed with silent laptops .... this is causing them the trouble,
5,. i work in SW development, and i know what a service pack is.
check XPSP2 for example...
6.i am proving a point that paying 3000$ for a MAC is not worth it at all, unless u want to show off the exterior design, but for usability, a PC is a way better choice, and much more extensions, at less price.......
7. after using my mac for three months now, or even more i think......i concluded that its only good for its exterior design, but the price and working in OSx is pain.
not even open office has all the microsoft office features...
it is just basic.......and unless you do web browsing and simple things, a MAC is useless.(mac osx)
8. we need to differentiate between MAC and OSX.
mac = PC. with some aluminum casing.
OSX = operating system.......which is not even a competitor, not even with XP, nor Vita and not even Windows 7.
thats why 80%+ market share is for windows, or no?
You are obviously either trolling or completely new to the Mac OS. I'm going to assume the latter.
1. Mac OS X has tons of features. And it comes with just about everything you need for day to day computing. What you don't have, is out there, trust me. Windows doesn't even include an e-mail app for crying out loud.
2. Call Apple and then call Dell or HP. You'll see in a hurry that Apple got to be the highest rated customer support in the industry for a reason. Adobe doesn't have any software that is included on a Macintosh, yet they do have programs for purchase. You are not "locked down" with only the included programs. That's just stupid. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of good Mac OS X programs out there. And with a little technical know-how, you can also run a lot of UNIX apps. Download.com is your friend, use it.
3. What have you been doing to that poor machine to make it behave so? I have NEVER had a Macintosh freeze on wakeup. Now Windows computers, that's another story. I've personally owned Macintoshes since 1998 and never had one behave the way you are describing.
4. You are feeling more of the heat because the aluminium case is "wicking" the heat away from the electronics out using the case. A plastic case will insulate you from the heat more, but cook the electronics inside. I can assure you, if you had a Windows computer with the same hardware specs doing the same activity, it would get just as hot inside the machine, if not more so (if it were made of plastic).
5. These updates are far between and are improvements. Don't you want those "holes" plugged?
6. You actually do have HDMI, it's the DVI port. DVI and HDMI are electrically compatible. All you need is an adapter. I do agree that it needs more than two USB ports, but miniature USB hubs are cheap and easy to find.
7. You are just having buyer's remorse. It's normal. You have something different and strange and that is scary to you. If you open up your mind and stop thinking in Microsoft terms, you will find that your Macintosh is a very capable machine and Mac OS X will enable you to be extremely productive, more so than in the Windows environment. You just have to unlearn all the years of bad Microsoft habits.
Good luck and best wishes.
its so funny :)
1. WINDOWS always had a mail program (outlook express) and now has WINDOWS LIVE MAIL....just check before writing those claims...and IMAIL is much less in features or UI than the live mail...check it .
what are the tons of features that ARE NOT found in windows?:)
2."You'll see in a hurry that Apple got to be the highest rated customer support in the industry for a reason". seems u never read the customer complaints about the BAD apple support, and how they never admit anything. remember the MOBILE ME???? hehe, if MS did that, you would have burnt it down, but for apple, it is OK. no?
i tried, there are no MAC OS X apps, apart form the adobe advanced ones, and other graphic design things...
give me some examples!!! even a proper IM program doesnt exist
locked down with NO SW support and especially no hardware support.
i want to see you replacing the VGA card in your macbook with another from another manufacturer......do it and tell me about your magical OS X, ,,,, or, it wont work?
3. yeah..apple OSX is perfect. thats why it needed 7 patches!!!! you never had any issues, yet you patch ur OS:)
4. i have a sony vaio and i have LENOVO...and they never heat up, and never they reach a bioling point. what about the screen, what will the heat do to it? especilly that the hot part is close to the screen!!
5.you claim that it is a perfect OS, yet it has holes? just decide on one.
and maybe since u agree that it has holes, then all those FAKE/MYTH 'iam a mac" ads, should be deleted????:)
how can one claim that their platform has no problems at all, yet, they need patches to fix.....their problems?!!!! no logic in here
6.so u want me to carry USB extensions, and DVI-HDMI extensions, and have a case full of wires and extensions, everywhere i go? mmmmm....what a solution. this makes my mac cost: 3000$ + all cables i need? and weight?!!!
perfect indeed
7.can u explain HOW MAC OS X is BETTER THAN WINDOWS? give me real examples..... just tell me:mac os X is better because of SO AND SO AND SO.....yet, u cannot.....or can u?
I will start with this because it is the easiest. OS-X uses less memory. It eats less clock cycles. It handles multiple cores better. It has a far better set of development tools. The development tools come free with every copy of the OS. No DRM on the OS install, If you want to wipe the hard drive and put a fresh copy of the OS on your computer, just insert the disk and click install. Very cool incremental backup software included. I like the UI much better (As do most people who use both). The insides of the OS are derived from BSD Unix. This makes dealing with system maintenance much easier for those of us who have Unix/Linux backgrounds. If you need tech support, just drive to the mall. You don't need to call someone in India.
This was just a few things off the top of my head. I am sure I missed quite a few.
I assumed wrongly. You are obviously the former ,a troll.
1. Live Mail is webmail, not an e-mail client. If you don't know the difference, then there is no hope for you. It was purchased by Microsoft from Hotmail back in the 1990's. Outlook Express no longer comes with new Windows computers, not the ones I've seen anyway.
The application is called "Mail", not "IMAIL" What features? Mail has features that Live Mail doesn't have. You will hardly ever find a complete duplication of features in any two software packages. Mail acts in concert with Address Book and iCal. I suggest you "check it".
2. No support centre in the computer industry got a great score. The latest study showed that even the airlines scored better. But Apple DID score much higher than the next Wintel manufacturer. The story was here on CNET, "check it". By saying that "there are no apps" you are demonstrating either a complete ignorance that astounds me or colossal laziness. What are you looking for? Games? Is that it? "Propper IM"? What the heck is wrong with "iChat"? If you don't like it, try "Adium", at http://adium.im/. There are others besides it as well. Use download.com, search on Google. It isn't that hard. And there are some very good shareware and freeware programs for Mac OS X that rival the commercial stuff for Windows, if not surpass it. "Locked down with no sw support?" Are you smoking something? What the heck are you whining about. There is always software and hardware support. Just call 1-800-SOS-APPLE. Jeesh! VGA card? You ARE ignorant! Yes, you can add third party graphics cards from NVIDIA and ATI to a Mac Pro. You can't with an iMac, but that's because of its form factor. You can't add a card to an all-in-one made by Dell or HP either. But you have a laptop, and adding cards to a laptop is iffy with any manufacturer, and very expensive. The MacBook Pro already has a very good graphics card.
3. ALL operating systems need patches and updates. It doesn't matter what the operating system is. To assume anything created by man is perfect is both naïve and just plain unrealistic.
4. That heat next to the screen is probably from that NVIDIA card. Your Sony VAIO and Lenovo don't have a NVIDIA 9400 card in them either do they?
5. I never claimed it was perfect. Show me where I said that. You need to take some reading comprehension and writing classes, maybe finish high school. If and when you ever get to college, try a logic course too.
6. There is a different philosphy at play here that you obviously don't understand. If you don't need these things, you can leave them behind and you don't have that weight with a MacBook Pro. If you have a Wintel machine with every bell and whistle included, you are stuck with all these add-ons and their weight whether you need them or not.
Besides if you need more than two USB ports you are already carrying around a bunch of crap with you that most people will not. The MacBook is designed for portability. You probably have the thing parked on a desk anyway.
7. That would take hours. But to sum it up, it's more stable, it's got a better-designed UI (much more efficient), comes with most of the software you need for day to day use (unlike Windows), allows you to use a huge library of UNIX apps, comes with development tools that are first rate, et cetera et cetera.
No matter what I say, you've already made up your mind. I sincerely doubt you have ever even touched a Macintosh let alone bought a MacBook Pro. In all likelihood, you are an internet troll.
Good day.
1. easy to use. Windows is easy to use.my 6 yr old cousing is capable of using it, so if u r a bad computer user, its not the fault of MS.
at least with windows, to close an application, you do not have to use the task bar to say "application->close"
now you want to say that the "right click" was invented by apple?!!!!!! hehe
2. it depends on the operations you are doing on your machine to see how much core cycles it is using
3. MAC OSX support of multicores is having a major change in the SNOW LEOPARD, which is delayed now :)
so this multicore support is not even present, yet
4,It has a far better set of development tools ... THIS IS SO FUNNY!!!! do you have like an APPLE DEVELOPMENT NETWORK like ms has?
seems you have never written a windows application before!!!
even IE 8 has "developer tools" attached to it. so this is a myth
MS dev tools come free, even you can get SQL server and VStudio for free!!!! there are free copies, u can download from MS site...
you need to check before saying such things
5 .yeah true, u can wipe up ur disk and install os X , on the ONLY SET OF HW you have!....
you cannot install OSX leopard on an old mac, can you?
isnt every installation DVD specific for the mac you own?
i wish to see you using ur OSX dvd of ur mac book, to install it on some other IMAC, with different specs and HW...
or just build a mac from scratch (or cant u?) and load OSX into it, what will happen :) hehe
6. "Very cool incremental backup software included".. describing a SW as COOL. explains why you are a MAC user:)
7.yes, the UI is flashy, thats all to it. win7 has a flashy UI and better one, so there is no better thing in here
8. didnt apple copy the MS surface technology and apply it to the iphone? in a less advanced implementation?:)
9. "The insides of the OS are derived from BSD Unix. This makes dealing with system maintenance much easier for those of us who have Unix/Linux backgrounds" mmm, tell me, HOW MANY HOME USERS has UNIX background!!!! hehehe......OMGGG.....i dont know why i ever bother to argue with u.!!!!!
10.now you are hating MS because HP has a support center in india!!!!! what a logic?!!!!
like i will hate FORD, because BOSCH has a factory in china!!!!! logic i see
1. WINDOWS LIVE MAIL is an application you download in a pack called WINDOWS LIVE ESSENTIALS. Hehe. And it is done to replace the old OUTLOOK EXPRESS. That?s why you are not able to see outlook express, because it was replaced by this applications!!!!
MAIL features in the MAC !!!! you think windows doesn?t have an address book?:) lool. You truly have never tried a windows machine in your life.
2. You keep saying WINtel??don?t you know that APPLE computers are MACtels!!!! In case you do not, then you are a waste of time to reply to.MAC computers are just PCS with different OS. However, you find it hard to admit, no?
3. Ichat? ARE YOU KIDDING. Explain to me how is ICHAT usable!!!! Or I need to setup an AOL account for it to work? Adium? AMSN? They are full of bugs that they freeze each time I use them, and they don?t even have the features of live messenger,.or even skype features!!!!
4. I went to google, went to download.com. yet, most apps are just garbage?except for the ADOBE ones, which you cannot find for free!!!
5. ?very good shareware and freeware programs for Mac OS X that rival the commercial stuff for Windows, if not surpass it.? No comment! You never used a windows machine before, have you?
6. SW Support meant to be: SW built by other companies to work on OSX. And not calling apple support
7. ? you can add third party graphics cards from NVIDIA and ATI to a Mac Pro.? Not ANY one would work. Not even ANY MOUSE would work in a MAC. What If I decide that I want an AMD cpu installed on my mac?..what would happen to OSX? Burn down!!! Hehe?
8. ?To assume anything created by man is perfect is both naïve and just plain unrealistic? perfect. SAY THAT TO ALL MAC FANS!!!! And not to me.
9. As usual, all mac problems are because of other manufacturers, now it?s the fault of NVIDIA for the heating problem. Seems that apple is perfect but all other suppliers (of its apple products) are the faulty ones!!!! So when my mac screen fails, I should say :?apple is perfect?, check Samsung!!!! Loool. Pathetic
10. I suggest that you at least learn the basics of WINDOWS before you even try to discuss with me the perfection of your apple ? you are so funny, yet, YOU FAIL TO SHOW WHAT IS FOUND IN OSX THAT DOESN?T EXIST IN WINDOWS!!!
11. ?you are stuck with all these add-ons and their weight whether you need them or not. ? THIS IS A PATHETIC LINE FROM THE ?am a mac? campaign. You can just uninstall all these programs if you want to. You can even have a clean installation of windows with no add-ons at all. Its not the end of the world if my windows machine comes with a trail copy of office?..at least IT DOES. Not like OSX that comes with?mmmm, nothing? Then I have to get openoffice (since you hate MS, I wont mention MS offive), where openOffice has basic features!!!
12. TWO USBs are enough?!!!! Funny?.seems you use your machine to facebook and twitter and nothing else.!!!
13. More stable? Its not true. UI, windows has a similar if not better UI, check VISTA or 7.
?comes with most of the software you need for day to day use (unlike Windows)?? funny. Such as????!!! Which ones DO NOT exist for windows! Or you do not know?
What are the dev tools that are first rate? Seems you never developed any application in your life.Have a look at MS offerings?..the least you could look at is IE8, which comes with its OWN dev tools!!!!
UNIX APPS??HUGE LIBRARY? Which one do u use that might be of good interest to home users?
14. You are a mac fan boy?..do not even know how a windows looks like or even the features of windows?.. yet you fail to admit it. I think its you, fan boy with no enough money to purchase a mac book pro, like the one I have?..maybe cs apply took all your savings on earlier macs? And iphone and ipod!!! Lool. Poor you, paying 1000s of $ for a flashy while apply logo!!!
[CNET editors' note: Personal attack deleted.]
It could be argued that Vista was just a beta for Windows 7, or that Windows 2000 was just a beta for Windows XP... the same could be applied to any operating system, or car or phone or... well just about anything...
Wallow in your derision and your small mindedness... I don't care.
I like my MacBook Pro and OSX...
X:Y:Z refers to:
X=major release
Y=Service Pack
Z= Patch
thus, when apple says: 10.5.7 it means: 5 service packs (they made u pay for, while MS gives them for free) and 7 patches for the last SP.
so you want to tell me that OSX is great!!!!!!

-Why don't you try a little research yourself and look up all the versions from 10 to 10.5 and see if that doesn't clear up your state of confusion. There have been numerous differences with each upgrade (some more than others). Service packs (whether for Mac or Windows) are mostly internal updates (i.e. security patches, driver updates, bug fixes), where as the upgrades (i.e 10.4 to 10.5) are those previous updates mentioned and then some (i.e.-better UI), added features (like cover flow and better spotlight search to name a few). Just look it up before you slam something.
Let me get this straight - you are saying that if Apple named OS X 10.5 as OS 11 then you wouldn't have thought that it is a Service Pack? You must truly be a marketing man's wet dream, someone who will believe that they have a new product simply because it has a new name.
Each OS 10.X has been worth the money if you want the features it comes with and you have to admit the computer world moves very fast these days. Is one major update of your OS every 3-5 years enough to keep it current (on new machines)?
Not much different from WindowsME or Vista. All software has a bad hair day from time to time. But then again most Mac users at the time knew is was not great but a step in the right direction and waited until 10.2 or 10.3 to upgrade. Also if you have to go back 8 years to prove a bit of software is not good today it makes it very obvious you are a troll...
and
instead of saying :"pc bad, mac good", i suggest that at least, you describe to me, what are the perfect things in a MAC that does not exist in windows!!!!
even the IPHONe, it is not capable of multitasking, which exists on nokia or windows mobile since...mmmmmm, since forever!!!!!!
it needs at least 3 years to develop a new OS....
i work in software development and there is no magic....a service pack needs one year, but an OS, NO WAY.
MAC OSX = flashy UI and no functionality.
you pay for a PC cased with ALUMINUM....as i said earlier!!! and with less hardware features and less software support!!!!!
they include :"security and performance improvements for this mac" .... ? !!!! hehehe
Yes please enlighten this poor fool. I mean, I've only been using OS X for 5 years and supporting unix systems for 15. I must be woefully ignorant."
so you are using OSX for 5 yrs, and 7 patches..........and? i still didnt get what is the point.....where are the security issues?
example: mac being hacke in 30 seconds!!!! :) lool
so you are using OSX for 5 yrs, and 7 patches..........and? i still didnt get what is the point.....where are the security issues?

Once again, you don't see the whole picture. Any wise Mac user will tell you that no OS is bullet proof (including OS 10). Also, if bothered to read the whole article regarding that "hacking" contest, you'll read that the guy had to poke around for a month to find that exploit. Inform yourself, less the make a fool of himself.
there are NO wise MAC users, as i saw from the above posts, all of them are affected by the MAC ADS (i am a mac).....especially the MYTHS of no viruses, no freezes, perfect software.
if OSX was perfect, then it wouldnt need any patches or updates, or not?
and you think that the windows hacker did it in one second? and didnt research :) hehehe, you are so funny at shooting urself in the foot.!!!!

Sorry to burst the bubble, but I am not one those users who thinks that Macs are perfect. I think by reading some of my posts, you could figure that out. On the flip side though, most Windows users have that perception of Mac users being full of themselves. That is a really side state of affairs, just like the Mac users who think that Apple is perfect. Perceptions are not no easy to get around when so many fools state the ignorant (like "Macs are perfect" and "Windows blows"). It all goes back to being well informed. BTW, look up the entire article about the hacking contest. You may be surprised by what you find out, if you read the entire interview with the "hacker". He he he (what is that all about BTW).
perfect, we agree on the same points me and you.
i was talking in genral,about MAC gan boys and winodws fan boys.....
since we agree on all points, i dont see that we should argue about it in any case hehehe.
i know about the **** of MS and the **** of Apple.
yet, reasonable choice is windows.
thats why i have win 7 running on macbook pro...
best exterior design (mac book pro) with best os in themarket (win 7).....

Wow, more monkeys to donate to the zoo. Sorry, but the flinging of pooh gives it away every time.
well,, yet, there is neither a defence nor explanation and nothing except talks and bla bla bla, same as apple ads "mac is good, pc is bad" why? no explanation, just PC is bad!!! :) very funny, brainwashed:)

Perhaps if you would actually read the explanations provided to you in earlier posts (by quite a few people, I might add), then there would be no need for the comedic retort. Since the above post is the only one you responded to, I think it proves the point that people only read what they want to read and hear what they want to hear. Brainwashed indeed!
maybe you have no answer....
and i already read what they wrote above and i replied as well...
so i will be waiting for your comments on my points, instead of GOOD MAC, BAD PC...like a monkey hehee

It's not that anyone, including myself, has failed to provide info. It's that you seem to choose to ignore them because of some issues that you are having. BTW, stating that you're a software developer doesn't help your cause much. If you are not exploiting OS X to its full potential (or any OS for that matter), then it is user error or just plain short sightness on your part. Of course, the biggest factor is what do you want out of the computer? If you're just spouting out Microsoft Office, then just go back to a windows system. If you want to delve into the creative side, explore Maya, Pro-Tools, Logic, Lightwave 3D (just to name a few). In the end, it is up to the user to decide how they want to use their computer. Blaming your problems on a computer maker is just a little silly IMO. I still find it funny though, that you claim some software knowledge but fall a little short with hardware knowledge, i.e. ******** about a computer only having two USB ports, yet you still bought it. That is all I am going to say about it. Have a nice day and may your next computer purchase be an informed one!

thats what you have failed to address.
and as i said, i got my mac just for ITS EXTERIOR DESIGN, FULL STOP. i knew it had stupid HW extensions.....but this deanst meant that they are right to ripp us off, just for a badge and some an aluminum casing.
talking about SW support, which of those software DO NOT WORK on windows?
i have been asking a straight, direct question,
give me ONE VALID REASON why MAC IS BETTER THAN PC......(OSX better than WINDOWS)....but u fail to do so,
so am waiting for that information

Let's see...no registry BS to mess with, no device drivers mysteriously disappearing, faster shutdown, stable (overall. I know there are hiccups, but overall more stable), better customer support (read any article regarding it and yes I know that is not about the OS, but it is tied together). Oh, I can load OS X to an external hard drive and boot from it if necessary (There is a windows solution, but it isn't pretty). TIME MACHINE!! Now I know that everyones experiences will vary, but that's what has been better about OS X compared to Windows (for me). There's your reasons. Any other issues that you would like to flip??
