Mac OS X 10.6.2 has finally arrived and it brings tons of new bug fixes for existing OS X Snow Leopard users. Jaguar improved performance across the board, especially for Classic Mode, and introduced Quartz Extreme, which lets the operating system offload graphics tasks to supported video cards (ATI Radeon and Nvidia GeForce 2 AGP and later video with at least 16 MB of VRAM). Apple’s release of it Safari web browser was Microsoft’s excuse to leave the Mac browser market. Jaguar was the first version of OS X to support Safari and the last the ship with Internet Explorer as its default browser. There were rumors that 10.2.9 would be released in mid-2009 to address several bugs and vulnerabilities that remained in version 10.2.8, but that never happened.
Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar was released on 2002.08.24 and was last updated on 2003.10.03, when the 10.2.8 update was released.
