Apple releases Mac OS 10.4.9
Waiting in your Software Update is Mac OS 10.4.9. Resist the urge to install it tonight, people. Wait at least 72 hours before installing a major software update like this. Personally, I'm waiting until at least Monday.
The 10.4.9 Update is recommended for PowerPC and Intel-based Mac computers currently running Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.8 and includes general operating system fixes, as well as specific fixes or compatibility updates for the following applications and technologies:- RAW camera support
