Improved printing will be awesome! I'm having some insane wait times to spool documents. As always, OpenGL and graphics improvements are most appreciated. I saw HUGE improvements in QE performance with 10.2.5, and I'm hoping for the same leap with 10.2.6. Let's hope this one cleans up the remaining bugs so that Panther can bring some real performance! 
Ah yes! I knew Jaguar would have a 10.2.6 update!
I seem to recall a great amount of doubt from people when I mentioned the possibility of a 10.2.6 update in an earlier thread....
Victory is mine! Ha ha ha!
Anyway, I'm going to assume this will be the final update before Panther's release. Does anyone think we will see a 10.2.7 update? Right now, I'm betting that September will be the Panther release month, and 10.2.6 will be available in June. Any takers?

Me neither. I think it's either hope and expectation causing an effect of a speed up or the fact that the installer rebinds everything. I keep my system extremely clean and have never seen a speedup from an update other then 10.1->10.2.
Nah, the way I see (read: make up) things, the 10.2.x series will end at 10.2.6, but 10.3 will make it up to 10.3.7. Observe:
10.0.0 --> 10.0.4
10.1.0 --> 10.1.5
10.2.0 --> 10.2.6
so...
10.3.0 --> 10.3.7
Eh? Eh?
Yeah, so, it's nutty. Sorry, I just finished my last grad school exam ever (most likely)!!! Woo.
I found this:
The 10.2.6 Update delivers enhanced funcionality and improved reliability for the following applications, services, and technologies: Address Book, Graphics, Printing, OpenGL, and PC and USB Hub Device combatibility.
Mac OSX 10.2.5 USB HUB Kernal panic in certain configurations fixed.
Unreal Tournament 2003 and GeForce video on Mac OS X 10.2.5 improved compatibility.
Re-Insertion of Novatel Wireless CDMA 1.9 GHZ PC Card Compatibility Fix.
Using Paint Effect in Maya on Mac OS X 10.2.5 compatibility fix.
LaserWriter 8 printing OpenType fonts compatibility fix.
Added Address book support for Sony Ericcson T610 phone.

Where are you getting this?
Anyway, Another OpenGL update?? We are getting a little hasty aren't we?
I guess it fixes some UT2K3 problem or something, BTW, They NEED to release it!

Besides, my system would speed up more if Adobe optimized their apps better. Have they lost the ability to make responsive applications? I've seen fewer dogs in a kennel...
No sh*t. It's killing me. The prime reason I am forced to upgrade my system is friggin' Adobe. It also doesn't help that I've got a minute and a half lag when typing more than one sentence of text into a template in Dreamweaver. No matter, though. Macromedia would have a hard time releasing software that's as pitiful as Adobe's latest efforts in terms of performance.
It would not be the first time they have mentioned a specific game or program.
About typos, search through apples support site they are all over in these update texts.
I hope 10.2.6 is true and that it fixes what is stated in the rumor.
10.2.5 made my system slower. However I just tried System Optimizer X 4.0.1 and it sped things up considerably. BTW, and off topic?: Has anybody noticed the .mac service being up and down today? Extra slow for me... also there are periods while connecting times out.

I wonder if this will address the problem I get with sleeping the comp with a 3.5" floppy drive (I know, I know......school requirement....) attached.
It sleeps, but cannot be woken, even though the little LED pulses normally. A hard reset is the only way to get it started.
This also happens with my Powermate.....
