So long as it's faster than before. Managing computers in one building was fine, anything across town or across the country was ridiculously slow. 🙄
 
So there's no new functionality in this thing, just a gooey ssh alternative. That's nice, I guess. Meh.

Nice to see the red-headed Aperture stepchildren are still left out. 🙄

They're probably waiting for the engineers to return from grief counselling after the arstechnica review was published.
 
This is a pretty exciting new version, with a lot of neat new features (autoinstall, curtain mode, remote drag and drop, and (my favorite) power copy, to name a few). However, there is one "feature" that may get overlooked, but that excites me the most - "brushed-metal-bgone"(tm). I'm glad Apple are consistently phasing brushed metal out. I believe the only Apple branded brushed metal programs left are Safari, Finder, iCal and iSync, major upgrades to which are generally made with or around the release of a new version of the OS itself.

Don't forget Automator, QuickTime, Photo Booth, Address Book, Calculator, DVD Player, Font Book and iChat. There are still quite a few apps out there holding on to brushed metal for dear life.

And don't forget DVD Player, too. It have brush metal 😛

EDIT: ooops didn't see skymaXimus posted this before me! DARN!! 🙂
 
Why vote this negative? Because its not the next wonder toy laptop? Glad to see some of these updates, though for most users VNC will work just ducky most of the time.

😱 OK, I stand corrected, but in my defense I'd like to say that I don't use any of those.😱 Anyway, all of them are part of OS X so I guess I'm not far off.
 
This pisses me off! They can put Remote Spotlight Search into their new product, but they can't include Spotlight searches of external servers in one of their software updates? GRRRR! 😡

Yes because supporting the enterprise customers is always a bad move.
