Apple Pushes Out Third Build of Mac OS X 10.6.4 (10F50) to Developers

Apple has also revised the seed notes accompanying the release to highlighting what it considers the most significant fixes brought in the update so far, including addressing issues with keyboard/trackpad unresponsiveness, Adobe CS3 application launching, and photo editing in full-screen mode on both iPhoto and Aperture. The notes also report that Apple has made improvements to VPN reliability, VoiceOver compatibility with iMovie and GarageBand, and braille display compatibility.
According to today's report, Apple continues to ask developers to focus their testing on the same five areas documented in the previous build seeded last week: GraphicsDrivers, SMB, USB, VoiceOver, and VPN.

500+MB?! at this rate, i'll have over 4.5gbs of "security updates" when 10.6.9 comes out.
WTF? this is just a glorified service pack.

I think a lot of those MB's will overwrite files that are already on your HD.

I take it the USB testing is so Apple can push out USB 3.0 support in future hardware updates?

Hard for devs to test or write apps involving 3.0 without an apple computer that includes it.

Yeah. Would you prefer they just included fewer fixes? I'll happily download as many bugfixes as Apple has time to send me. Besides, Software Update strips out about 40-60% of the packages anyway, since a lot of them are things that were in previous updates, or for machine-specific hardware that you don't have.
