You know something, Pop_Rivit, I did have a few problems after I downloaded that update. Safari seemed much slower and I had some problems updating my commercial antivirus program. Occasionally companies will release bad updates. My computer did run faster before the update.
In my post all I did was announce the Apple 10.5.6 update and that according to the iAntivirus Blog Apple had fixed a lot of security issues. I receive email from the iAntivirus Blog. So I am trying to figure out why I was personally attacked by mori.
I still own an iMac in addition to a Windows computer so I am still interested in Apple updates and Apple security patches. It seems to me that it is positive and not negative that Apple included security patches for some security holes that had been found. That certainly is better than Apple either not finding security patches for any security issues or else denying that they even have any security issues. I am sure there are people at Apple who worked very hard developing security solutions to any known security issues. I personally appreciate that Apple was willing and able to develop security fixes.
And PC Tools, the maker of Spyware Doctor for Windows, is kind enough to provide a FREE antivirus program for Apple users. I appreciate their efforts also. If I did not own a commercial antivirus program I would use their iAntivirus. I will use their iAntivirus after my subscription runs out for the commercial antivirus.
So how anybody could somehow find what I said in the post offensive to Apple or demeaning to their choice of computer is beyond my understanding. I suppose it just proves my point about the Cult of Mac. Anyway, what he said in reply to my post reflects on him.
I did not know until I read what you said here about Apple getting a lot of complaints about the 10.5.6 update for Leopard. From now on I think I will hold off on updates. I guess Apple can make mistakes contrary to what some Mac extreme fans think! And it must be serious if they are getting hundreds of complaints from owners because Mac fans do not complain readily about Apple stuff. But I guess I better be careful-I might get another ridiculous reply from Mori! I wonder if he even understand what his reply above makes he seem like.
I am concerned about the 10.5.6 update. It certainly slowed down my computer. So hopefully Apple will release another update quickly to correct for issues raised in the 10.5.6 update. Maybe they should have tested that 10.5.6 update a little bit better. At any rate it shows that they are not perfect.
Thank goodness my updates for Microsoft never seem to cause any problems. The only complaint I had was that it took forever to download the SP1 update for Windows Vista. After I finally got the SP1 update downloaded everything worked great and everything has always worked great after every single update from Microsoft. They must have some good programmers.
I am committed to eventually go completely Windows and leave the goofball Cult of Mac behind. Mac OS X is a good operating system but I find that to an increasing extent I do more and more of my photo work in Windows Vista. I am getting, after a little bit of effort, better photos printing in Vista than in Mac OS X. There are still a few things I do in Mac OS X but to an increasing extent Apple, Mac OS X, and the entire Mac world becomes increasingly meaningless to me.
