Ok, so first off, I tried downloading the Mac OS X update from the update utility, and that failed. Then I went straight to apple and downloaded it from their website and it took about an hour--and I have a fast internet service! Once it finished downloading, I started the installing process. It installed, and then said it had to restart. I had to hard boot it THREE times because it would just freeze on the blue screen of death. Then it restarted on it's own three more times. Now FINALLY, I'm back up and running, but I've had some weird error messages and my Macbook Pro seems to be acting weird.

Any other "success, or should I say fail" stories?:(
 
I really feel like my MacBook Pro is slower after this update. Takes for ever to switch between applications and what not.

I don't know what is going on, but I think I have seen the beech ball more today that I have ever seen it total in the life of my MacBook Pro
 
Glad to hear it's not just me! Yeah, my Macbook Pro seems to be running really slow. Ugh.
