Ennesimo update "monstre" da casa Apple. In totale, oltre 530mb. Stavolta si chiama OS X Leopard 10.5.3, sempre che questi numeri e nomi abbiano ancora un qualche senso o rapporto con la reale evoluzione della "specie" sistema Macintosh. Nulla di segnalare, calma piatta da fase R.E.M., se non l'affannoso tentativo di tappare i buchi introdotti dall'aggiornamento precedente, e che regolarmente vengono aperti altrove ad ogni nuovo aggiornamento. Ripeto il mio solito consiglio (salvo non si abbiano gravi malfunzionamenti): attendete almeno 10-15 giorni prima di aggiornare, in modo da ricevere adeguati feedback sulla qualita' e sicurezza effettive di questo "
megarattoppo parte terza".
