How can they release updates to their operating system that increases or improves stability or security when it never crashes and never has any security issues? :rolleyes:

While the Mac OS is far more secure and stable than any Windows OS I have ever used, it is not perfect. My Mac has Run 10.5 24/7 everyday for almost two years and I have had 0 crashes and 0 security problems. My PC on the hand is another story.

The 10.5.7 update installed perfectly and everything is running well if not a little snappier!
