After Software Update took 5 MINUTES to find ONE UPDATE (I understand this is normal? 
), the file size weighs in at 729.6 MB for my MacBook Pro 13".
I am SO confused why Apple couldn't have made this update a tad bit smaller. I mean, come on. Cheetah 3D, various media players and even my entire iPhoto library don't weigh that much. I would hope that Apple could be more efficient. And I wish there was an option to update only one feature. For me it would be the checkbox fix.
I really want to know why the MBA update is about half the size.
UPDATE: Safari is also included in the update as are several other items and fixes. That explains the size.

The 10.7.4 update installs Safari 5.1.6
But, I just checked Apple's Support website, and there is a Safari 5.1.7 that has just been added today. I went ahead and grabbed the newer version, just to make sure I was up-to-date. The "new" version does feel faster and more responsive.
Just giving you a heads-up.
Here is the link for Safari 5.1.7:

I also don't like Safari 5.2's omnibar, or the way it arranges its tabs. I don't see the appeal of the omnibar. I still IE 8 over 9 and Firefox 3.6 over whatever version it is now (I lost count) because of this!

Option-Shift. Shift just turns off volume feedback (or turns it on if you have it off by default).

Never noticed that. Also, I think the Software Update icon has changed, but I'm not sure if it is just with this update or from before.
Safari on Snow Leopard was fine... Chrome never showed a beachballMaybe you should use an ssd drive!
Works with the backlight control too.
Btw, you need to hit shift-option plus the corresponding keys.
Seems like they've added some of the features that are in the Mountain Lion DP to Lion with this release. I think that for some Lion really has gotten a bit better now
Maybe Mountain Lion is a free upgrade for Lion usersWorks with the backlight control too.

Or maybe not
Don't really see a difference there. But the little world icon in Safari and e.g. Spotlight has definitely changed:
Finally. Why was that taken away in the first place?!
