iMac Software Update 1.2 (Tiger) and 1.3 (Leopard)

Apple has released iMac Software Update for both Tiger and Leopard.

As always, the release notes are a bit sparse and simply states that "this update provides important bug fixes and is recommended for 20-inch and 24-inch iMac models with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8GHz processors." An analysis of the update packages indicates that updated graphics drivers have been delivered.

Some had hoped this would fix the intermittent Freezing problem that Apple had promised to address, but a couple of reports in our forums claim this problem persists even after applying the software update.

Just noticed that Apple has pushed out the iMac Software Update version 1.3 on Software Update.

Has anyone been brave enough to try this? BTW... Running Leopard here, not sure if this is an update available in Tiger.

And of course the same vague description on Apple's site:

"This update provides important issue fixes and is recommended for the aluminum 20-inch and 24-inch iMac models with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors." :o

That would be very cool for the many who have suffered. I have been on of the lucky ones and had no problems in Tiger with 1.1 or 1.2. My experience in Leopard so far as been just as stable (knock on wood). If I could only get time machine to see my NAS share for backups. So far no go. :mad:

I will say I am enjoying having 2 mac partitions and a dedicated bootcamp windows partition (now nicely hidden to OS X). This install feels good to me. :D
