Apple issues fourth beta of Mac OS X 10.6.7 with no known issues

For the fourth consecutive week, Apple has issued a beta of Mac OS X 10.6.7, the next update to its Snow Leopard operating system, to developers, who have been asked to focus testing on the Mac App Store. Apple released build 10J855, available either as a 1GB combo update or 412.6MB delta update, on Thursday. According to people familiar with documentation for the update, there are no known issues with the build. The first beta of Mac OS X 10.6.7 was seeded on Jan. 20, with updates following roughly within a week of the previous one for the past month.

Apple announced last October its plan

The folder is mounted as a drive in Windows Explorer which makes it independently accessible in the file manager. It is possible to move, copy, create and delete fi
