Since my last blog post, our friends over at Apple have been busy. We’re going to talk about three things: OS X 10.5.3, iPhone 3G, and MobileMe. This story will be broken up into three parts, one new part each day. Today I’m going to write about all the changes made in the latest iteration of Leopard 10.5.3; Tomorrow, I’ll share my stance on the iPhone 3G as well as all the specs about it. Then on Monday I’ll give you the skinny on Apple’s “new” service called MobileMe, which Phil Schiller dubbs “Exchange for the rest of us.” Keep reading for all the juicy news…

OS X Leopard 10.5.3
So, Apple’s latest update for the best OS so far is 10.5.3. It was released May 28th, yea, a while ago. Here’s the official notes about the release. I’m not going to post all of the fixes because there are just too many. To check out the entire list, go to the Apple Page.

The 10.5.3 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.

The only real difference that I’ve noticed in my everyday usage of the OS is related to Spaces. I’m a big multi-tasker while I’m working in Photoshop, and I have it set to open in a specific Space. While I’m working in PS, I will often switch to my first Space to do something in Safari. Before 10.5.3, every time I switched back to my PS space, it would mess up the layout and all the toolbars would be missing. It would take clicking on the desktop, then back on my PS document to get the toolbars back. It wasn’t anything major, just a minor annoyance, but this update fixed that problem.
