Security Update 2003-11-04, Xcode 1.0.1

Any thoughts on how long before they release 10.3.1??

They also released an xCode update, for those who installed the developer tools.

I was expecting to see a 10.2 security update as well, given the bad press they got last week over security holes still to be patched. Maybe we still will see that...

I'd say early December. 10.2.1 came out about 6 weeks after Jag was initially released, at least for developers.

That's good. Security is a good thing. Bravo Apple for keeping OS 10.3 safe.

How about the other 80% of us (as of 7-1-03) who use Jaguar? When do we get some sugar? Huh, baby?

time for a new poll. :)

I am 6 computers into a 10 computer Panther upgrade. I have a few bugs that are annoying me. However I have to give Apple credit, It does work pretty well for a System that has only been public for a week.

I am glad they are giving up the updates as soon as they have them ready though. A six month wait would annoy me! :D

I have never understood why people update to the first major revisions of software and hardware. Nearly without fail some inconsistency, conflict or calamity awaits the early adopters.

Its not just Apple, it's EVERY application and OS and new machine ever spawned for the last 15years of my career at least. And Apple are not the worst, at least not these days.

Anyone remember OS7-9 and the inevitable extension conflicts when ANYTHING was changed or updated by 3rd Party software or Apple. Machines could simply utterly fail to restart at all, let alone function properly. I seem to remember Suitcase and ATM as being prime candidates for this sort of thing.

And heaven help you if you stuffed up your SCSI ids when you plugged in that new scanner or whatever. It's is all generally much better now.

Hey, its only commonsense, software/hardware guys are only human and nothing can be tested absolutely in all configurations.

So I always wait (if I can) for the Rev B Hardware and the .1 update!

But I suppose if it wasn't for the early adopters, I would have to wait longer Apple to find all the bugs for the revision ;)

I hope you realize that this was *before* Panther was released ;)

I have no patience whatsoever, and must always be at the "forefront". Therefore, I'm one of those chronic early adopters. Hardware and software. I've purchased the "Rev. A" versions of the last three editions of powermacs and a "rev.a" 12-inch powerbook. OS X 1.2 and 1.3 on the day they were released. Prior to switching in 2001, I installed Windows 3.0, 3.1, 95 and 98 on the day pf release. Going even further back, I bought the first Apple //c to arrive in the Detroit area. The end result: I've never experienced a problem as a result of being first at the gate.

Perhaps I lead some sort of charmed existence...:eek:

Well if no one updated to the latest and greatest, then we would never find the bugs.

Edit: I guess you said that in your post, maybe I will read the entire post next time before I comment on it :)
