Apple released a statement warning users upgrading from Leopard, about the newest available upgrade for Mac OSX to 10.5.6. The problem occurs from an incomplete software update getting into the update process that can cause Mac OSX to cause errors during the "Configuring Installation" window process.Apple recommends users, if they haven't already, to force the software update process to quit the download, remove the partial update from your library and re-download the update. This problem is also been found in the standalone update from Apple's web site, and the combo update.
If users still faced with problems updating their Mac OSX machine, they are encouraged to contact Apple with related issues.
Got the mandatory comparison in the first comment there. Well done!
Wasnt really comparing or anything....just a comment
No, no big deal. Just everyday stuff that companies have to deal with.
With Apple being less so than most

If its not that big of a problem, why has it not been fixed?
The fixes, if necessary in these rare cases, have already bee posted. In fact, way before this article was posted on Neowin.
For most users the update installed just fine.

Especially not on Neowin.
Not apple bashing here in any way - I have both a Mac Mini and a few Windows PCs, and all have their quirks and problems. Apple products are great for their simplicity.
If I remember, Leopard was full of problems when it came out, then a few of its updates like this one caused problems. Also the iPhone and iPod updates did some weird things at first.
Maybe its time Apple started actively encouraging beta testing of their software. MS have managed to keep doing it while keeping new feature promises etc to a minimum. It might make these minor and major updates a little more stable for the users who buy macs "because they just work". My 2p.
MS adopted this, and I think their way of looking at it is "I would rather have someone use an illegal copy of Windows than a legit copy of Mac OS X." Seems to have worked IMHO.
That's a good way of looking at it lol
with vista if they did they should be fired
