Existing users, 
Apple's new update scheme is annoying. It installs as normal through software update. I was reading up on some stuff online, so I selected 'restart: not now'
Sometime later I restart, screen goes blue and all of a sudden my Mac tells me there is new software for me to install, and do I want to do this now or just restart. wtf? I already told if to install, why is it bothering me with this again? I click install, it does its thing and it pops up another message, telling me it will be updating boot caches now. wtf, would you just restart already, what is this, Windows?
Leopard is nice so far, esthetic issues aside, but this did not impress me.

I don't think you understand what it was telling you.When you clicked "Restart: Not Now", you were not saying "Install all the files, but go away because I don't want to restart", you were saying: "I don't want you to install this now, because I'm going to have to reboot to use it, so remind me again the next time I reboot and see if I'm ready, because that will be less intrusive."
Leopard (and all the OSes before it) cannot install system files and then just not restart - libraries will have changed, old ones will still be in use, new ones won't be active, and things will just not launch properly (eg: 10.4.x Combo updater - try launching any app after installing it).
So what you got was a reminder: "Hey, remember when you said not to install that update immediately? Well, now seems like a good time, because you seem to be rebooting - you want to do this thing now, or do you want to put it off a bit longer? Cos, you know, we can do this, like, whenever, cos I've got this update sitting right here whenever you want it. Just let me know."
The boot caches thing... I don't know.

I'm sorry, but that just is not true. I already pressed install. AFTER it finished installing, it asked me wether I wanted to restart now or later. So I said not now.I don't think it is logical for OS X to ask on restart wether I want to install the exact same thing I already granted Installer.app permission to install.

You installed the updater - anothersphere
Its all semantics, you approved installation of an updater which was triggered when you finally restarted. Its a minor irritation. I imagine they will iron out the weirded language they use.Sunday, October 28 2007 @ 05:17 PM PDT
Update? - vze26wyc_dotmac
This has caused me problems. SUID file “usr/bin/lpasswd” has been modified and will not be repaired. Also screen dims after only several minutes.Sunday, October 28 2007 @ 11:20 AM PDT

I had the same reaction... I already gave OS X permission to install it, don't ask me again. Did Apple hire some Micrsoft engineers recently?Reply to This
