Apple Seeds First Version of Mac OS X 10.5.4 to Developers
Only one week after the release of Mac OS X 10.5.3, Apple has already started seeding developers with the first version of Mac OS X 10.5.4 (build 9E6). The latest developer seed lists no known issues and details only a handful of fixes to Mac OS X. Apple appears to be aggressively seeding developers with the latest builds of Mac OS X and waiting only days between builds.
This release comes only days head of Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference which is rumored to introduce us to Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Apple's next major Mac OS X version. As typical, Apple will continue to work on bug fixes on the current version of Mac OS X while the new version is readied. There is no known timeframe for the 10.5.4 release but Apple can wait months between these maintenance releases.

Dang, already? Seems like we'll see more frequent updates as indicated by Steve during previous keynotes.

i'm actually surprised by this as a lot of people i work with tell me that 10.5.3 has fixed a ton of their problems with 10.5.2. maybe Apple is being proactive and wants to get the fixes out faster than how long 10.5.3 took.

How is this possible?! :confused:
10.6 on the horizon alongside constant updates to 10.5... insanity. We JUST upgraded to 10.5.3 last week!

Indicates one of two things:
[LIST=1]
[*]They haven't branched 10.6 yet, and want a stable codebase
[*]They've been busy on 10.6, but problems with Leopard are so widespread they're having to peg it back and do some major plumbing
[/LIST]

False dichotomy much?
3) They do regular updates of operating systems.
