Apple marches towards Mac OS X 10.5.6 and 10.6

As far as 10.5.6 is concerned, Apple has fixed more than 100 issues identified in previous seeds.
MobileMe syncing is apparently still a focus for Apple's development efforts.
Developers that have received build 9G52 are still being asked to test MobileMe syncing across links with adverse latency and bandwidth, and from behind corporate proxies.
Apple is also still seeking feedback from testers that can use Mail to send messages that are entirely in non-Latin character sets, as well as other non-English character sets.
Both those areas were highlighted when build 9G38 was distributed in mid-November.
As for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, HMBT reports that build 10A222 includes the much-heralded Microsoft Exchange support in Mail, iCal and Address Book.
The Grand Central API that will make it easier for developers to take full advantage of multicore systems is in place, and there's a new 64-bit kernel for the early 2008 versions of the Mac Pro, iMac and MacBook Pro - but not (for some reason) the late 2008 MacBook Pro.
According to other reports, Snow Leopard provides the option of not installing Rosetta, the software that allows PowerPC applications to run on an Intel-based Mac.
