Apple Begins Seeding Mac OS X 10.6.1 for Testing
AppleInsider reports that Apple began seeding Mac OS X 10.6.1, the first maintenance update to Snow Leopard, earlier this week to a select group of developers. MacRumors can confirm that it received similar word earlier this week that Apple had opened a discussion forum through its invitation-only AppleSeed program to allow OS X 10.6.1 testers to provide feedback to Apple engineers and that Apple had begun the seeding distribution.
Those receiving the first builds are part of smaller, more exclusive seeding programs run by the Cupertino-based company. They traditionally operate on an invitation-only basis, unlike the Apple Developer Connection open all developers willing to pay membership fees.
The report notes that builds seeded to this limited audience generally make their way to broader developer distribution through the traditional ADC channels within a week or two.Top Rated Comments

Looks like it might be time to load up the version I bought. Just waiting for 10.6.1 to upgrade.

Bring back printer support, namely HP and make sure it works over network and locally ... dbags!!!! :mad:
I think I can deal with most everything else. If you must, make the pixels of all menus slightly off if it means I get my printers back.

I haven't had a single problem with Snow Leopard on either 3 of my Macs but any update from Apple will be good.

It seems odd that Apple are looking for feedback from only a small select 'invitation only' group..... why don't they try to gain as much information from their customers as possible. They could save time and money by just trawling through all the threads on the MacRumors forum !!

I really hope they hurry! I do have some bugs since 10.6.
Most annoying:
- Graphical issues when choosing a page from Safari's "top pages" feature
- When the dock is hidden the Mail icon doesn't bounce every time I get an email as it should, it only does that every once in a while. :(

Hopefully they improve the scrolling of stacks... Currently it isn't the same speed as Safari scrolling.
??? What are you talking about? Leopard was sheer utter garbage when it was released.
