<div>It's about two weeks on, and Software Update keeps reminding me
to install this. Any news from IS&T about it yet?</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>The latest update for Mac OS X 10.4
"Tiger", Mac OS X 10.4.3, is expected to be released by
Apple this week and possibly as soon as this evening. We expect that
10.4.3 will be the most extensive set of bug fixes and enhancements
for Tiger since it shipped nearly 6 months ago.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>However, when ever 10.4.3 becomes
available, we believe you should wait before updating your machine and
those of your users.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>We've seen some instances of updates
causing problems; for example, the infamous tax day release of 10.3.9
caused many users to experience problems with running Java
applications and using Mail to access e-mail from IMAP
servers.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Most users should wait to update to
10.4.3 until IS&T has completed its testing, to ensure that
supported applications work as expected. We'll also be monitoring
Macintosh websites for user's experience with the upgrade. It may take
up to a week to complete testing.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>When testing is complete, we'll provide
information about any issues and possible work-arounds.</blockquote>
