The official Apple support forums are ablaze with users reporting problems with the latest build - 10.5.6 - of Mac OS X, ranging from hanging during installation to 'blue screening'.

and don't forget their pathetic attempt at blocking DFU restore mode on the iPhone. the dev-team sorted that out in no time.

Hang on, I thought that Macs "never" blue-screened, were totally stable and secure, never any viruses or spyware... Are we sure we're not talking about something else?

3 Macs updated to 10.5.6 without any problems here. All done on the delta from Software Update, rather than the combo downloader.
