	Angie2, "surely you cant think that all the problems with 10.3.6 and 10.3.7 are small." Most of them are. The problems are generally to do with other issues, disk problems that are accentuated by the update and things like changing the DNS resolver in 10.3.7 (which solved lots of major problems). Delta upgrades are tested for weeks or months before release with a large cross section of machines. Any update related problems are generally caught before release, and it's normally only application or individual machine problems that are left. Slow start up times are often pre-binding issues for instance, or a disk problem. You also have to remember that out of all the people who apply these updates it's generally the people who have problems that complain about them, and there's also a lot of people that suffer from a placebo effect with updates (it feels faster or slower).
