Apple Upgrades to Mac OS X 10.3.8

One day after Microsoft's Fat Patch Tuesday, Apple has released a number fixes of its own for Mac OS X. The cumulative update, which brings Apple's flagship operating system to version 10.3.8, addresses issues related to the PowerBook G4 and corrects a problem on Power Mac G5 systems that causes a fan to cycle erratically at unexpected times.

Mac OS X 10.3.8 additionally includes a fix for an issue that could cause network-based applications such as iChat and Mail to stall while opening. Mac users who experience a "jumping cursor" when using the trackpad will also want to upgrade. Apple is offering a standalone 10.3.8 download; however, most users can simply visit Software Update to obtain the latest Mac OS X release.
