Thanks for posting this, Kucing.

This new update does solve my .Mac syncing problems which occur a few times.

They're releasing updates this large for an OS less than a month old? Maybe Apple needs to do more beta testing, rather than rushing products out the door.

It's only a 37MB update. If I remember correctly, the first patches/updates from Microsoft after the new release of new operating system takes less time than 1 month.

Only? Microsoft has never released a patch that big, except for entire service packs!

It's not a "single" patch. It's a combination of a number of apps. A single one for your convenience.

Apple listed security content of the Mac OS X 10.4.1 Update. It is good to know that
Malicious websites can download and install widgets via Safari without the Safe Download Validation warning
has been fixed.

Is it usual for Apple to update this quick? I expect this from Windows think back to when XP was launched.
