Quick Note: Guest Account bug rumored to be addressed in 10.6.2
…Several rumor sites have been following the development of OS X 10.6.2, of which various versions have been seeded to developers…
-suggesting that it's in development. But later in the article:
If you have already purchased Snow Leopard and have not yet upgraded, you should be able to avoid this problem by first disabling your guest account as a safeguard and then upgrading to Snow Leopard. Then run Software Update and apply the 10.6.2 updater before trying your guest account again.
For new purchasers, you have the option to check the Snow Leopard installation disc to see what version will be installed. Apple constantly updates the retail installers to contain the latest version of the OS, so you have the option to ask for a recently shipped package when you buy the software, and check the side of the box to see if the version says 10.6.2. If you cannot find one containing 10.6.2, you can still install and immediately update as per the advice above to avoid guest account problems.
-suggesting that 10.6.2 is already out. I checked Software Update and Apple's site but nothing yet. Hmmm.

Re: 10.6.2??
10.6.2 was seeded to developers about a week ago, so it does *feel* as if it has been publicly released. Other things being addressed include the way 10.6.1 can stifle hard drive mounting and some QuickTime issues (among what must be a host of other things)....

It's good that developers "leak" some of the fixes because it at least confirms that certain issues users are dealing with are not merely one-off glitches on a single machine but are officially confirmed bugs. We spend so much time wondering what we did wrong, but knowing in advance that SL can indeed ignore internal hard drives, for example, might spare someone the agony of buying new hard drives or putting their machines in for repair.
