mine went fine..took about 3 hours to download, installed, it rebooted twice and was ready to go. Ive never had a problem with any of these updates; i dont used software update to DL them and i dont use the combo version, just the standard one from apple's website.
System Mac Pro 1,1 - 2006 - made In China
Upgraded CPUs from X5150 x2 to X5355 x2 (basically from a quad 2.66 to an Octad 2.66)
3-Drive RAID 0 as Boot.
12GB RAM
NVidia 7300 GT
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.7f10
It went smoothly but with a few issues!
The Upgrade downloaded at 11.9 MB/s meaning it took about 34 seconds to DL.
Install took 3 minutes 30 seconds to first reboot. (4 min. total)
Second reboot took 1 minute 30 seconds ( 5 min. 30 sec. total)
Enhancements:
Problems:
Also I have no idea what you mean by "Use Safari 3" or "Use Safari 4". Safari 3 is installed. Huh?

I lost my screen resolution 1920x1200 no longer exists in the options:
Now the fonts are messed up - fuzzy!
Pixel Aspect Ratio is wrong! - circles appear oblong.

Apple screwed up HDMI in the display drivers, use another connection. Everyone thats using HDMI is affected and can not use their native resolution.
Apparently, Apple knew about this issue since new Mac Pros were out and still released it.

It's not just HDMI: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2004318&tstart=0
They messed up lap-tops, and Mini, and iMacs too!
i wish for me it was that simple. i had to download the tiger security update twice... it still says i need to upgrade Safari - but the Safari 4's public beta is already installed.
on my MacBook - i have tried to upgrade more than once. the first time it got stuck at 200MB and the second time it got stuck at 185MB. The third time it said that the digital signature was incorrect. the fourth time was done correctly.
I typically wait several days after an update is released before I install it. It's not about doubting it's ease of updating it's just when I happen to have time. They always go smoothly enough.
I've heard a few people have trouble w this update. I'll monitor this thread and see how you guys do first.

Its only HDMI input (for the monitor), if you are using DVI->HDMI or DP->HDMI, you will be affected.
When I use HDMI->HDMI its broken. Using HDMI->DVI now and its working fine.
About a 20 minute download via combo update last night. Installed pretty quickly with a single reboot. If anything's changed, I sure don't notice it. In the last 17 months every update I've installed has seemed to do nothing or very slightly change or fix something. How annoying it must be for those having problems. I expect my turn will come one day. *crosses fingers*
Hmmm OK. I downloaded this: http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/About.html ran it and then uninstalled it. Now I get 1920x1200 on both monitors but somehow I did the two differently cuz one says 59.98 KHz and the other says 60KHz.
But both look the same.However now the monitors so longer have the ARC Options:
- 1:1
- Original
- Stretched (or something)
Oh well. I hope Apple fixes this soon! Silly Apple!
No problems in the dawghouse
Download took about 2-3 minutes from Software Update
Install went flawless and no issues
Then again, I've never had any issues with updates
Woof, Woof - Dawg

The update went well on my Sawtooth Macasaurus it didn't update Safari though because I threw that out for Firefox when I originally installed 10.5.4
It's always best to wait for a month, so that 3rd party apps are updated and Apple fixes the regressions. I never do that, I upgrade seconds after it's released.
my experience
For the record, on my
macbookair : had to hard-switch-off mac and restart, then all ok
imac g4 >800 : had to hard-switch-off and restart, then all ok
imac g4 <800 : still working hard after >60minutes and i'm praying
macmini : perfect
ps. if you do use the combo downloaded installer, do remember to switch of timemachine.

However I did have to re-pair my bluetooth mice on both iMacs...
Also Apple STILL has not fixed their permissions DB for the following entries:
Which they messed up in their last update. I thought for sure they would be fixing these in the next update... yet here they are - still unfixed.

It's seems to me this poll is misnamed. "To 10.5.7 or not to 10.5.7?" is a question you should ask yourself before upgrading, not after.
But I do appreciate seeing the results, because usually most people who have no problems are never heard from in the normal threads. But why is it either "install went fine" or "major problems"? What about "minor problems"?

Lol, I second that, use Firefox 3.5 beta 4, did SW update, no problems what so ever on my end so far *touch wood*
