Got to Mac OS 10.2.5, via the Software Update panel this morning. For now, after being stung by 10.2.4 (bad modem problems with cable), I'm being cautious again and have downloaded it to my desktop.
Having perused the first reports at MacInTouch and MacFixit, it could be another risky one. For good measure, some are already recommending going for the 'combo' installer instead, reporting that it fixes some "issues" which may otherwise cause problems. This seems to be becoming a regular practice (and, ouch, 81.9 MB worth of it).
At TechSurvivors, the bolder seem OK so far. But some of them have the luck of the very devil, n'est-ce pas, pendragon?

Apple's "interest" in Universal, also coveted by Microsoft, can only lend weight to some of the Panther rumours.
"'While it can be argued that Apple could make some incremental revenue from the online sale of music, the company would not need to own a music company in order to do so,' Merrill Lynch analyst Michael Hillmeyer wrote in a note to clients (reported on MacCentral). 'In fact, there do not appear to be any synergies between a music company and a PC company, even one as innovative as Apple.'"
Hmm... don't always believe what you read!
"(Steve) Jobs already has secured deals with four of the world's five largest music corporations..."
