Apple Seeds First OS X 10.9.2 Build to Developers [Update: Includes FaceTime Audio]

Apple today seeded the first test build of OS X 10.9.2 to registered Mac developers, just three days after the public release of OS X 10.9.1. The build, termed 13C32, is available to registered developers through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store as well as through the Mac Dev Center.

Consumer OS.

Still; I love it.

Only Apple could release OS X 10.9.2 so quickly.

I guess that's literally true. It would be quite a shock if Microsoft or someone else released OSX 10.9.2.
