I did the update remotely via OSXVnc on my Mac Mini (PPC) and now I get a completely scrambled display via the same VNC connection. I haven't been able to hook it up to a real display yet to see what that looks like. The last big security update bombed so badly that I had to do an OS re-install. As someone thinking about switching from XP on my main system (this Mac is my HTPC)... not impressed. :-(

One of the annoying bugs that I'm glad to see fixed: the bold and italic styles of OpenType fonts are finally identified correctly in Carbon apps such as Word and Firefox. In all previous Tiger releases, those styles were 'faked' algorithmically even if bold and italic versions of the font existed.

After installing 10.4.7 we have been unable to sync to .mac accounts or pop3 mail accounts getting a server connection error message of trying to connect to ther server via port 0. No ammount of reseting the account preferences will help. Has anyone else had similar problems - Apple say its not down to them

The two-fingered right-click also works in a XP VM in Parallels on a Macbook Pro 15.4" :)

Anyone else having frequent unexpected quits with Safari after the upgrade? I've got a 1.67GHz PowerPC Powerbook with 1GB of RAM.

To skewbiedoo and john:

It's a software issue only, hardware is not the issue, but it ain't gonna happen form Apple! You'll have to DL 3rd party software that will allow it.
