Just installed and working fine so far. Widget manager is the only obvious new item.

The widget manager is really nice. Should have been there at Tiger's launch.

21 MB download size, thought it was going to be larger - as long as it fixes lots of bugs..

In the process of downloading it right now. I hope it fixes the funny static lines on my display I normally see when I play a DVD and reduce the size so I can work on papers at the same time. I have a feeling it might be the graphic card, but we shall see.
