I don't think you understand what they mean by "no known issues." Known issues are generally things that prevent you from testing or causing large-scale data loss. It doesn't mean "no known bugs in the software at all." I don't think there is any commercial software that is bug-free.

Not So Fast...
When Apple releases something like this, it is typically after 5pm EST. At the time of this post, we still have a few minutes and possible another 1-2 hour window before we can say for sure it will not be until next week at the earliest.
I guess its safe to say that this update isnt coming out today

Solitaire on Windows is a pretty solid app.
It has to be. The success of many an office worker depends on the stability of that one app. It's most likely the most used application in a business environment.
Windows has been able to read remote DVD and CD drives since before there were CD and DVD drives (an exaggeration of course, but it's been there so long that I can't remember when it wasn't possible).
"Remote Disc" is just a hack done so that the external drive was a requirement for the MacBook Air.
Windows systems (and Linux/Solaris/...) can do a full network install from a network boot if needed - the boot loader is streamed from a server, then the OS files are loaded and installed.
That's much closer to an "optical-less future" than a hack to let the BIOS/EFI mount a remote DVD.
No... There are wireless problems with Leopard alright. I work at a Windows centric company. Wireless on my MacBook Pro works flawlessly when booted into the Vista Boot Camp partition. It hasn't worked in Mac OS since I "upgraded" to Leopard. I've spent hours tweaking it.
Even though the company is geared toward Vista there is a relatively large Mac contingent. The discussion around wireless networking problems under Leopard exposes a big dark underbelly with support for certificates in Mac OS X 10.5.0 & 10.5.1 specifically and standard network security support in general. Apple's wireless support is OK for home and consumer use. It's far from industrial strength though.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone has ever been able to play a CSS-encrypted DVD over the network before. Also, this is the first time anyone has ever been able to boot from a DVD over a WIRELESS network. Apple rarely invents new technologies. But they are damn good at making synergy from existing technologies.
The technology for over the air power is has already been around for some years now. We are a lot closer for this tech to be introduced on cell phones right now than you may know. It will, however, probably be more of a type of pad you lay your phone on or near that induces a sort of uniform electron state in your personal device to charge the electrons. I'm too lazy to look up the specifics of the the technology but it is something along these lines.
Battery operated toothbrushes have been using an almost likewise technology, I think.
Not Camera Raw, camera support from the OS. Yes, for iPhoto/Aperture, but the OS handles raw support for those two applications.

Oh cut the crap please. There are plenty of x-files with wireless on winblows.
I don't think it's coming today. I thought for sure that it would and I was oddly looking forward to it. I'm one of those people that are OCD about updates and get excited for them. Maybe next week?

It's called "induction" and has been known and understood since the early 1800's. Implant power supplies are charged this way (spinal cord stimulators, drug pumps, pace makers, cochlea implants).
No, but it seems logical that they should want to get the Air into the channel and onto the store floors.
When people actually see this laptop, there are going to be a lot more people seduced.
They can release it late today Cupertino time. It is almost 1pm in California at the moment. There is still time.
Not necessarily. It could have a different revision of 10.5.1 and/or drivers to include that ability.
Nokia Support
I would really be happy if iSync supports the Nokia 6300.
The current plug-in works, but does not sync the calendars properly.

Nice!
Yeah you're right. We should just pretend there are no problems at all. You've helped me to see the light. Sure Apple will be under no pressure to provide fixes but sensitive customers like you and me can move forward in confidence that all is perfect in the world. Gee wiz, I feel better already!
Do you have any other sage advice to impart? I've got some bit of money to invest. Any financial advice? Anything at all?

If the update did nothing else besides fix the X3100, I'd be happy. It needs a new driver. It runs worse than the old GMA 950 right now and it's buggy to boot. Intel's driver for Windows makes it run beautifully.
As a matter of fact i do: get started using your head and complain no more. I have to Macs at home, work a lot on Macs at work we have very big wireles and cable network, moved to Leopard the day it came out and to this we have none known problems neither with wireless or anything else.
That may be the case, but for me (and others) some access points constantly disconnect when in Mac OS X, but work fine in Boot Camp on the same computer.
Conclusion: Mac OS X Leopard has some wireless issues.
Here at home, it's great. But if I use my friend's router (which happens to be one of the most popular in the UK) I pretty much just skip OS X, because it will go in an endless loop of disconnecting even with full signal.
