Why tomorrow? What can change in a day?
Anyway, works fine for me!
reports of stability of the release. some Mac OS point releases have significant problems, at least for some users. i usually wait a day or so after the release, and check reports here, to see if there are any major instability problems.
unless you're waiting for a specific fix to a problem that's a big issue for you, what's the rush?
Blizzard is working on a patch for that. They released the one for Starcraft today.
MobileMe Sync Broken on 10.5.5
My MobileMe Sync is not working...The Menu Bar icon is totally frozen...I had this once before on 10.5.4 but it was self-induced...
Anyone else have this issue?

608 MB combo update.
Yeah I have no idea if these links will work or not, I'm at school so I'm just trying to download the update ahead of time
Not sure what the distinction between "Patch" and "Update" is, but this might explain why some people have updates bigger than others (even when starting from 10.5.4)
Looks like I'll be picking up my new 17" MBP in the next day or week...just in time for my UNGA trip to New York!!!
I'm cautiously optimistic on that one. My iMac's had a very hard time staying connected to the router since 10.5.4.
The combo update contains everything required by any Mac platform. Some people believe that using this is safer than what you get from Software Update, which gives you only the bits it decides that your specific machine requires.
Helpful Information I hope
First the part that I think is not helpful but so many seem to like to post:
136 MB - Mac Pro
2 Automatic Reboots
Now helpful perhaps:
1 Calendar Sync conflict - but looked identical
No Nikon D700 Support!
iChat still wont connect to Bonjour upon autostart
VMWare Fusion had control of my CD tray - I had to disconnect through it to eject the tray
Ill tentatively say that graphics card improvements - although most of the visual degradation took a while to evidence themselves. Im now running Motion, Aperture, and coverflow in iTunes and holding strong.
When adding a new iCal event it lets me type until I am done instead of truncating it (which it used to do because of a sync start - I think). Anyway better now.
Still problems with Spaces keeping the windows of the applications in the same space
Still - Spotlight in a finder window defaults back to whole computer instead of the directory I have navigated to.
Still - In column view and then spotlight in the window then hit back button it switches to list view instead of column view like I had it.
Still - Mail attachments when I save dont show up in the save like the used to in Tiger. Attachments get dropped even though the check mark is on to keep them.
Still - Fast user switching then switching back kills by desktop picture rotations - just white until I quit the dock in Activity Monitor
Feature Request - Editing event in iCal without having to double click on it then click edit then click what to edit. Bring back the side panel!!!
All in all everything seems to be stable and at least not worse and better in some.
And yes I do submit these things to Apple each time we get an update to the OS.
Hope this helps some.

iTunes Store and Managed Accounts
Can someone please check and see if 10.5.5 fixes the issue with managed accounts not being able to access the iTunes store though the front page?

Mine started working again randomly, but there is a fix I did last time...I'll try and remember what I did.
Spotlight
Spotlight is great. Press Command Spacebar then type in the name of the program you want to launch and press enter. It works kind of like Quicksilver.

Combo is the update that brings you from Mac OS X 10.5.0 through 10.5.4 up-to-date to Mac OS X 10.5.5, and is therefore a huge update, not just the "small, incremental" 10.5.4 - 10.5.5 update.
But, the Combo replaces a lot of (system)files and gives you a "cleaner" update.
If you are experiencing issues running Mac OS X 10.5.5, you can download the Combo-10.5.5 updater, and install that over your existing 10.5.5.
