I just updated both of my Macs (feels weird to say that!). Thanks for the reminder Chris.

Thanks for the clarification, Chris. I really appreciate it. I know I will be installing this update later today, if I can get an internet connection for my MBP here at the office.

There are actually 2 different updates here:

There is Security Update 2008-003, which is for people who are NOT updating to 10.5.3, and then there is the 10.5.3 update (via software update or via Combo Updater).

The 10.5.3 update also includes the Security Update 2008-003 so both are not needed if you are going to do the 10.5.3 update which includes a lot of non-security related updates as well.

If you’re a Mac user, at minimum, you should consider applying the Security Update to your system if you aren’t already going to update to 10.5.3.
