Pretty disappointing for me as a rMBP owner.
Safari still ruins the 'thumbs up/down' icons on YouTube.
Also Facebook and certain forums still scroll very choppy compared to the webkit build.
How long must we wait till these bugs are fixed?

Sigh.
Try shutting down from the login in screen before these apps/services are even loaded. The bug persists. (Check your console log).
Very true. You don't.
With every ML update, I have this irrational hope that Calendar will be stripped of the hideous faux leather. (I know it won't happen until 10.9 and yet I still check) I use Desktop 1 for mail, calendar and messages and it's jarring every time I switch to it.
First World Problem I know, but hope it will be solved next week with a 10.9 beta.

Sure, Paypal me $50, and you should receive your SSD in June 2019. You understand that I can only send information back in time, not solid objects. But it probably wouldn't have been compatible with your current system anyway.
Have you tried the tweak to replace the graphic assets in the Calendar package? I did it on 10.7 and 10.8, about 2 minutes worth of effort and it removed all the "leather" look and replaced it with simple silver.
AD fixes
Until now it seems a great update, specially regarding with AD and SMB
tested on 2010/2011 and 2012 iMacs and had no issues so far.
Scrolling looks faster as well.
Will wait for a server update to check the improvement with workgroup manager and AD

Everything is going beautifully - installed and rebooted with Safari being more responsiveness and less memory being sucked up; no incompatibilities so far with all the applications I use working beautifully. The mail applications seems to be a lot smoother when it comes to connecting to exchange (I use Office365 exchange for my email hosting) and no problems with iCloud. Having seen all the complaints about Retina it makes me happy that I wasn't sucked into the 'Retina hype' and went with good old reliable resolution till the technology is more mature (btw, Windows is no better when it comes to higher resolution - it just sucks in different areas).
One could argue that it is the principle of the thing - the fact that one should need to go to such lengths to get rid of such a hideous addition to the operating system in the first place. I can only hope that maybe with Ive been given free reign that we'll see some of the awful gimmicks that were added are promptly removed and a focus is bought back on functionality and allowing users to achieve a task with minimum fuss, bother and distractions. Quite frankly faux leather, leopard skins, tail fins and transparency have only one place and it involves the likes of Honey Boo Boo and her ilk.

Funny, I almost qualified my post with "Before anyone chimes in, sure, it should be handled by Apple...". - but really, it's just not that big of a deal, I don't like it and there's a simple, quick fix, I do it and move on.
It's not unlike some of my vehicles, I love them, but sometimes there's a small annoyance/issue that's a quick, simple fix - same thing: do it, move on and enjoy Yeah, the calendar is corny, but I'm usually sitting in a shell, code editor, Xcode, MS Word or email (or even a VM), so I mostly get to ignore it (actually mine is patched
)
Were there any updates to the Radeon drivers in this update? Seems like they haven't been updated in a long time, aside from adding a new Radeon GPU with 10.8.3.
might be, but i like two things with safari: iCloud Tab syncing between devices and a HTML5 plugin which means i can export videos directly.
Still have FF for banking and chrome for the sake of having it.
Installed the combo instead of via app store. Let's see if things are better in daily usage. Here's to hoping
You're definitely not the only one. By the looks of it Apple will just put this problem under the carpet..
iMessage does need an overhaul or at least more attention from the programming team. Messages are still wonky. I'd love for a way to prevent alerts going to both phone and app when using the OSX app.
I have tried every possible way, it just lags. Even if you force the gpu to NVIDIA's it still lags. I have Windows 8 on bootcamp and Ubuntu in Parallels. Both work faster than MacOS.. oh the irony..
Before I switched to Mac, I used Chrome, it was just plain awesome on a Windows machine. On OSX however, I find Chrome to be not as nice as it was on Windows. For example going to the previous page with the 2 finger gesture works a lot better on safari.
Webkit is a ton smoother than Safari, but has problems of it's own unfortunately..
I just wish Apple would get on top of their game, instead of slacking behind.
Yes!
All-freakin-right! Glad they got the enterprise wifi thing sorted. Now to see if our users with issues will actually benefit from it - I'm not allowed to put my personal Mac on our network here to test it.

Webkit is the best browser I have ever used. It is faster than Chrome on any OS and so smooth. I guess it is one of those YMMV things
iMessage not working
Try quitting Messages with Command-Option-Q then reopen if it still doesn't work then quit with Command-Option-Q and quit IMagent through activity monitor then it should work and you should be able to do everything normally (Including quitting)

It's generally a symptom of something else wrong.. Worth checking the logs for errors on boot.
My Nvidia Driver doesn't work in this OS version. It has switched back to OS X driver (not the Nvidia driver from Nvidia). I"m running 2 Nvidia GTX 285 Mac Edition cards, in my early 2009 Mac Pro.
I'm on a Windows Active Directly network, and the login seemed a bit faster. But, it wasn't that noticeable a difference from before. I am also running an OS X stripped RAID 0 SSD (2 intel 600GB SSD SATA3 drives). So, its been faster since I stripped them anyway logging in. But, I'm a bit worried about the Nvidia driver not being compatible. Seems fine so far. Will report back if there are any issues.
Also, my desktop pictures (I run 3 displays), didn't get messed up after a reboot. That was annoying! Seems to be working and staying now. That was a bug that was fixed in this update. Lets hope it stays that way.

Hi,
I have an early 2011 27"iMac with a 1 Tb Seagate firewire drive. I use the Seagate for time machine backups for the iMac and also for my late 2010 13" Macair. There has never been an issue backing up the iMac but the Macair has always been a pain. It usually took a series of reboots, turning sharing on and off and general fiddling to get the Macair to see the Seagate and perform a TM backup.
I just loaded 10.8.4 on both machines and the Macair started it's backup without intervention. Not sure if this was a known issue but if it was it seems to have been taken care of.
Also, I think memory management has been improved. I seem to have more free memory with the usual set of apps open than was the case.

Does anyone else notice that the desktop background resets every time the computer is restarted? To those who are complaining about slow shutdown times, I'm pretty sure your problem isn't going to be addressed any time soon. If Apple devs haven't noticed something as obvious as a resetting background since 10.8.1, chances are they never restart their computers at all.
