Thank goodness for the NEO, the haters have a new target. Used to be they would be here with the old tired jokes of the five owners etc. I have to admit, as one of those 5, this update seems rather minor. But I have been happy with the additional content released over the last few months.
The Neo is a roaring success though. Best selling new mac ever.

An AVP thread on this site can barely break double digit replies after a day. I can't recall a time when there has been so much enthusiasm for one Apple product and so little for another. Even beats headphone threads attract more interest.

Perhaps the success of the Neo will push apple toward a much cheaper version of the AVP.

Like you said ... rather minor indeed.

I was a little disappointed to see they've not done anything unique for the AVP with their new F1 license/content.

Perhaps still coming though (hopefully!)
