10.4.2 Review

MacJournals takes a long look at the 10.4.2 update to Tiger, and how, after a while with the update, it delivers or fails to deliver on Apple's Tiger promises. Under the synopsis section, the article notes "Although Mac OS X 10.4.2 takes a big swipe at user-reported problems with the first two Tiger releases, its not perfect. A bug that wipes out URL information in Address Book when using synchronizing and using .Mac data as the master source is not fixed in 10.4.2, for example, nor are several other bugs." Near the very end of this section, the article adds "If youve been waiting to install Tiger until they get 'the first bugs' worked out, its time to put that reasoning aside and update."

Read the full article and follow all the links for all the info. If you're one of the few who was able to resist upgrading immediately to Tiger, however, I would advise that you wait until 10.4.3 or 10.4.4. There are still bugs, and if you've waited this long, you're clearly fine with Panther.
