This looks like a really solid update. I'm really looking forward to those Time Machine fixes, but I also like the fact that they addressed the iCal security issues as well.

Can anybody with a iMac and 8800 do a Cinebench test run and some Core Image benchamrking?
I'm on the road till tuesday so can't test it.
Damn Apple why did you have to realease it when I'm away!!
Same question here, D4F, especially considering that I am getting my new iMac 24" soon...
Again: ANY NVIDIA DRIVER IMPROVEMENTS?
10.5.3? O RLY? Does it fix the network bug that was introduced in 10.5.2? The bug that prevents me from playing LAN games in Age of Empires and Age of Mythology?
I guess I'll just have to find out myself.

Disk Utility, Repairing Permissions now tells you it may take a few minutes to evaluate your file system before it starts repairing. At least people won't freak out anymore. Seems to be a hair faster with regard to disk utility. Dashboard moved a few Widgets up and down a bit, nothing fancy, but the whole system seems more fluid graphically and less lag with regard to going b/t windows in the Finder. Also noticed that an issue where if you tried to use multiple programs accessing the net, ie Safari bringing a page up and running Software Update, Software Update would take forever to search for updates, has been resolved it seems.
Good update so far and these are just surface observations.
Oh, one more thing...... After the update I actually ended up with 300MB more HD space than I had before. I guess this update is taking out a bit of trash too.

Woooo! Downloading! I hope Time Capsule is more reliable, 802.1X works, and I get less kernel panics!
Up and Running
Downloaded and Install, the restart hanged for some reason for my MBP. After restart boot was longer than usual. Otherwise all systems go with no problems.

After install was done it went to the white Apple boot screen then rebooted, took a bit longer, came up with a blue screen for a bit then it was all fine

Just finished installing and spaces is so snappy now. It actually moves faster. Like I wasn't even expecting it and its just smoother. It works like I always wanted it to also! Photoshop fades in and out beautifully when switching between apps. Before it would turn gray and make some tools not work. Heres to hoping that this is only one of the many fixes on my list that has been addressed!!
Does Apple have a list somewhere of the camera RAW formats OSX now supports? I keep seeing these "several new cameras" in updates, but since my Panasonic isn't (yet, anyway) supported I keep having to just try and open something.
Speaking of which, if it DOES support your camera, does that mean Preview will recognize it's RAW images, or is this specific to iPhoto (and if so, which version)?

What kind of issue do you have with your Exilim Camera?
(Just curious, because I also have one, but never connect it directly to the Mac. I always use an CardReader to get the pictures off the camera.)
Wi-fi
In my macbook, I really hope this will fix that problem with some Wi-Fi hotspots, when you can get a full signal bar, a green "connected" indicator in system preferences, an IP number, but STILL you can't navigate, or connect to any server.
At the sime time, your friends using PCs at your side are online using their notebooks!!!
