| Lt. Major Burns: Well, I've personally been using SU for a long time and it always worked fine. Even the horror updates like iTunes 2.0.x did not kill my computer(s). My girlfriend is still updating her iBook G3 800 through Software Update without any problems whatsoever (and I leave her doing that, because of that). However: I've heard one too many stories about people creating havoc on their computers by simply updating to a new version of OS X through SU and then solving the problem with the combo updater. Hence my activity in promoting the download of the combo updaters.
I think SU should have preference options that would let users decide to preferrably get the combo updaters and to automatically save them in a set location, like in "~/Updaters", for example. Of course I'd also like to see less problems mentioned from people using SU/delta updaters.
