Installed yet? At work so I cant update to see what it does - hoping it fixes the dropping wireless issues... and freezing genre lists under streamed movies....
I just got it installed and don't see any differences jumping out at me.
I was not having dropped wireless issues, so don't know if it helps with that.
I'm a about to jump on a flight to San Fran and won't be able to install until this weekend. Damn.
Apples forums has a report from one user that says:
"Don't use 5 Ghz so I can't comment there, but it's fixed the slow scrolling in 'my movie' genres."
Hope thats true
It was unusable before on my end (15 to 20 second freeze every time you switched genres)

It was unusable before on my end (15 to 20 second freeze every time you switched genres)took me 5 minutes to download on a university connection. maybe their servers are getting pounded.
With 2.0.1 i had been having problems with airtunes and itunes randomly disconnecting every 3-5 songs. hitting play would start the music again. Hopefully this resolves the slight instability in airtunes.
also: my unit restarted 5 times during the update process (aka, i saw the apple logo 5 times in between no signal on the tv)
update: menu's feel much smoother to me. much smoother.

Yes thats been there, not new (it leads to shows by network in the iTunes store).
I personally like the 1.x interface with rotating icons and a list of menus better. I'm not a big fan of the left right double pane with the whatever you saw last background fade. The icons were much better. But we're just talking gui here not functionality. 2.x rocks otherwise.
I turned on wide-channels on my extreme, and sync'd a large movie (2gb) to my AppleTv without any dropout. Prior to this update, if I used wide-channels, it would never finish synching it .. would always time-out in different places on the same movie. Seems to be fixed??!?!?!?!!?!!!!
