Mac OS X 10.5.2 is expected to squash 76 bugs, many of which have drawn the ire of Mac users on both PowerPC and Intel platforms. It’s become increasingly clear since Leopard launched in October that PowerPC Mac owners have been particularly hard hit by the upgrade. This is arguably because Apple devoted most of its development time and testing on the Intel version used in the latest Macs, rather than on older ‘legacy’ hardware.
That’s certainly reflected in own experience of Leopard: our Intel-based MacBook Pro now works almost flawlessly; our PowerPC based Power Mac G5 is riddled with problems, including frequent crashes.
