..............and I am unable to run Software Update since the update. It won't start from the Apple menu at all and is grayed out in About This Mac. This only happened on the iMac, not the MacBook.

Throw out the preference file com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, that might fix it.

Anyone else noticed that column view in finder now sorts numbers intelligently, so that 1<2, 2<10, 30<112 etc? and how long has this been around?

Also, does anyone know if this sorts out the crashing problems with InDesign CS3 under Leopard or not?

Spaces becomes Task oriented, rather than app oriented! Maybe it will finally be useful.

Please elaborate (I have found Spaces in OS X a complete waste, since the construction of the Dock kind of negates the need for virtual desktops on Windows and Linux environments).

Read about the change in this Daring Fireball 10.5.3 Spaces blog post.

I updated yesterday. After rebooting, for some reason Spotlight re-indexed my FireWire drive, which was a mild nuisance. Also, when Time Machine kicked in, it stalled for hours at "25KB of 141MB". After a reboot it fixed itself, although it took about half an hour in the "preparing backup" stage. Since then it's been fine.

That's the only thing I have to report. Everything else is same old, same old (which is fine by me).

I have not tested it yet, but I'm pretty excited about this. I want to use my web browser in just about every space, but Spaces did not like that before. Drove me nuts, to the point where I gave up on Spaces.

Was it ever unintelligent? I can't remember that. Then again, I don't use column view often, so maybe I'm just thinking of list view.
