This is going to be very confusing. Imagine the support call "What OS? " 10.6.8. "Which One? " Huh?
If you have a revision nomenclature, stick to it.

This. Now we sysadmins have to worry about which version of 10.6.8 is installed on each workstation. ARD won't be of help; it will report both patched and unpatched as 10.6.8. Just what I needed; more work. :confused:
Again. What bug?
The standard support for TRIM that isnt working in third party SSDs.
I can't wait for a Lion update... I've had a few crashing issues lately.
I don't have crashing issues, but I do think Lion is pretty buggy.
i also asked apple for a refund which they have agreed to.
Lets be clear that just because you don't have problems with your installation it doesn't mean other people are having major issues with theirs.
mac os x lion in my opinion just has too many bugs. Maybe i'll try again when .1 or .2 has dropped.
Glad to have this bugs fixed, although it took 1 month for them to do so.
Welcome back Snow Leopard. You'll have to wait a little longer Lion...

Ugh. Totally.
Our Macs at work aren't online so I can't just say "check for updates." I have to download updates and bring them over on a flash drive. This kind of thing makes it MUCH harder to keep track of what needs to be done on each machine.
Sure, I can read this article today and do this now, but what if one of them needs to be re-formatted in the future? I'll have to remember this specific thing and look it up in the future and then download it in addition to 10.6.8. Just putting out 10.6.9 would have been so much easier.
