Fwd: [Macpartners] Wait to install 10.4.3

[Albert Willis]

Apple released Mac OS X 10.4.3 last night. The recommendation that  
users hold off on installing it until we're able to do testing and  
monitor reports from the Web still holds.

> 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

> months ago.

> However, when ever 10.4.3 becomes available, we believe you should  
> wait before updating your machine and those of your users.

> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> When testing is complete, we'll provide information about any  
> issues and possible work-arounds.
