News Flash: Mac OS X 10.4.2 around the corner

Apple Computer's new Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" operating system is less than a month old, but already the company is rumored to be knocking the kinks out the second maintenance release, Mac OS X 10.4.2.

Rumor has it that the operating system update, the second on a list of many scheduled for Tiger, could be released within the next 45 days.

So far there is no word on which key enhancements Mac OS X 10.4.2 is expected to deliver, but tipsters said builds of the operating system should begin to surface within a week's time.

The most recent version of Tiger is Mac OS X 10.4.1, which Apple released on May 16th — about 2 weeks after Tiger was released to the purchasing public.

Maybe iSync will get a little better after coming out of hibernation. iSync gets better and better but still isn't "there."

Or perhaps fix the very annoying bug with Automator workflows saved as self containd applications. They just do not work when saved without user interaction.

Between me and allyuh, 10.4.1, was not worth the upgrade. It slowed down my system, corrupted Mail beyond repair, damaged my iTunes library THREE times and affected Safari and other apps adversely. I was not impressed and have since reverted to 10.4. Much snappier, Mail works, Safari works... everything is working.

So I'll be seriously thinking through any upgrades... 10.4.2, had better fix whatever went tragically wrong in 10.4.1.
