10.2.6 update does what it says...

as for this poster's comments...
so if os 9 is so awesome use it no one is stoping you - you evidently don't have a need for what OS X has to offer I personally see a drastic improvemtn of how the os functions... yes OS X is a touch slower but it's also 1000000Xs more complex and 500% more stable. No one is forcing you to use X if 9 works for your needs feel free to use it.

Your own personal luddite opinion does NOT constitute a rating of this software
update. As mentioned, if the 'snappiness' of OS9 appeals to you, boot up in OS9.
No one is forcing you to use 10.
And as far as fonts looking better? I've been a Mac user since 1986 using Macs for
DTP and professional graphics, and never has the system looked so good. Smooth
fonts, quartz transparency and alpha, improved UI... Your ignorance! Consider that
in OS9, if a dialogue box was invoked, other user interactivity was stopped. Only
one application launching at a time. Now we have a reasonable level of
multitasking, which is BOUND to slow things up a bit. But it's a small comprimise,
as the benefits are worth it. Touch wood, since the advent of OSX, as a company
we've saved ££££'s due to increased productivity. So how can this be S L O W E
R....???? Methinks if you don't like it, don't use it.

2 stars for "quality/stability"? You don't know what you're talking about. OS X has so many advantages over 9 (stability, protected memory, and multithreading being the biggest) that I can sacrifice a little speed. Besides, OS X is pretty "snappy" on my TiBook. Maybe you need a new computer?
