I want the final version of Safari 3.0 as well as the updates and fixes to the core system. Seemed like all work (or published seeds) have stopped on it.
Perhaps Safari 3.0 is a Leopard only feature....
Anyone know the status???

Something makes me wonder whether 7.5 is a precursor to iPhone firmware 1.1.2 as well...
Hooray for breaking the unlocks and giving consumers less choice.

But.....Where is Mac OS X 10.4.11 ???

Also still waiting for a fix for Java remote execution exploit...
iTunes 7.5 now completely conforms to the Leopard look by turning white when not selected.
Quicktime 7.3 does that too, if it didn't already, and I don't know if it did or not.
I hate that. Our eyes are attracted to light not darkness. when you select a window it darkens, and other windows brighten (to lighter shades) this is very counter intuitive.
The window you select to be at the forefront seems to blend into the mess of windows behind as it is darker. Bad design IMHO.
Rant over
I hope this update doesn't dash my hopes for a a Jailbroken CDN iPhone...

Yes, Safari 3.0 is complete in Leopard. Finally!
If it wasn't for Safari 3.0... I can't think of any good reason for the average person to upgrade to Leapord (oh except those really cool backgrounds in iChat which are a pixelated load of potential). Yes, I am disapointed with no killer-features for my buck. (And I don't care about time machine, whoopie, backup...)
Although Leopard is Cool, i would have preferred that killer app. Spaces is very cool, but not Killer. Hugely improved speech commands would have been such an app. Commands to easily search local, network, and the web. Dictate memos, iCals, e-mails, and more.
Yes, that would have stood the world on end...
Leopard and Time Machine are cool!

...Why am I not seeing this new game anywhere? It's not showing up in the iPod Games section of the iTunes store, and no new iPod software update that might carry it... what gives here?

I would disagree with your rant. I think that apple have got it right, as when a window is inactive it looks washed out but when you select a window it darkens which I think gives the window presence. In the sense that it is bolder. Its like read text on a white piece of paper you're not attracted to the white paper but to the dark text.

Did anybody else notice a 'Windows-like' message after the update saying 'In order to complete the installation, your computer will need to restart'? I guess this is a major update and hence a restart may be necessary, but still shouldn't Leopard (being Unix-based and all) be able to handle it without the need for a restart?
I never saw a message like that.

QuickTime updates have allways required a restart. Most likely because they modify system level frameworks.
