eWeeks Reports Tiger Fixes to Networking

It's about time. We've got a Tiger-based file-sharing network in the Jackson Free Press office (not running Mac OS X Server, just a dedicated machine with File Sharing turned on), and that gives us some headaches at times. I've been thinking for a while now that Mac OS X should be mature enough that the networking works a little better than it does...we've been at this close to seven years, right? Anyhow, the eWeek report says that Mac OS X 10.4.7 -- which should be available in both PowerPC and Intel flavors via Software Update as you read this -- addresses some long-standing issues such as problems that InDesign and Quark have when accessing files over a network. (Can I get an 'Amen'?) Plus, fewer dropped connections, some improvements in AirPort networking and it sounds like some tweaks to QuickTime.
