After Updates, iPhoto and Aperture Now Share Libraries Natively

Has anyone tried the aperture Facebook/Flickr sharing option? Hope it works better than the last version where photos were locked into whatever project they were shared from.
EDIT: just tried it on fb and it unfortunately appears to work exactly the same.... My wife loves to share photos the second they hit the comp and it really frustrates me to not be able to move them without stopping the wifi connection and tricking aperture into moving them. Anyone know of another work around for this??

It's even worse for me, as I didn't shut off mobileme galleries prior to doing the update (DO THIS FOR YOUR SANITY) and it is now synchronizing the galleries which has taken over an hour (over a 100mbit TLS internet connection). They are all sitting either at "completing" or "100%" and I can't cancel/pause or anything. I can't remove mobileme also until it is done synchronizing...
No, it doesn't (admittedly, I had a tiny, test-only Aperture library). However, you should be able to easily merge these using Aperture:

UGH... I hate this version... Sorry I moved over to this version. Now I do not know what to do... I am in a panic.
Why is Apple whitewashing their pro software....
White balance is simplified and no longer has some of the adjustments I loved.
Highlights and shadows are simplified. They got rid of three adjustments.
Hey Apple!!! I don't use iPhoto. I use Aperture because it has been very professional, but Apple is watering down Pro software. I don't see improvements. All I see is that Apple will cost me tons of time migrating all my files to another program. Capture One Pro, here I come....
Goodbye Aperture, Good Riddance.
Apple has really been on the wrong track lately, from the lack of a decent high-end desktop to watering down FCTP and Aperture....

My only questions before doing this are.
1. what if you aren't using a managed library in Aperture
2. What if you don't want your libraries to merge. I use Aperture for my actual photography for clients and iPhoto for stuff my siblings send me etc. I don't want them mixed together. I actually like the full separation.

That answers my bigger question. Looks like if I don't import my iPhoto library myself they stay separate.

Thanks for the tips... If I can use one library with to apps pointing at it, best of both worlds maybe - IF each app has its own view (i.e. if I make 4 variants in one app, they shouldn't show up in the other unless I specify)... i'm guessing its either all or nothing though.
My library update took about 40 minutes. No too terrible; considering I'm sure stuff was happening with my masters because of the high processor load.
However, Aperture crashed the first time that I opened it
Good thing I have a backup of my pre-merge library, but still. Now I have to find the old version again and the last update because my disk only had 3.0.

Aperture folder structure missing
I thought this new capability of opening our Aperture library in iPhoto would be very handy, but when I do so iPhoto does not show the folder structure I use to organize all our projects and albums, and does not show the albums. It merely shows all the projects as pages and pages of events. Very limiting.
