Apple has today pushed out a “major update” for it’s Snow Leopard operating system in the form of version 10.6.7.
The new update is more of a tidy up than a major update, it looks to be largely made up of improvements to existing features and applications, along with a few bug fixes.

The update is available to download now, though it will require a restart in order to complete.
