how can you not like the brushed metal look? personally i wish all apps would look like that. i do agree that there should be 1 set style(brushed, plastic, etc.). but hey, if all apps had the brushed metal look i wouldnt complain. 
I wonder what this update is REALLY for... mabye a new codec in iTunes 5? I hate how they give the same description for every update.
You know what bugs me even more about this update? Not only the fact that certain h.264 movies have a gamma bug, but that it plays perfectly fine in any other app than Safari and QuickTime, including iTunes!

...didn't go so well
Ok... so I updated Quicktime and iTunes in one shot through updater and I restarted. It then proceeded to give me the mac 'black screen of death', which I'm guessing is a kernel panic? I rebooted as it instructed and it did it again and ever time after. I did the instructions for resetting the pmu (shift-control-option-power) and still no luck. So... what do I do now? o_o
I can't boot, so I can't check anything out. Should I grab my tiger cd and try to archive and install? I'd prefer not to lose all my data, but worse comes to worse I can format. Has anyone else had this just explode in their face? T_T;
EDIT: well... scratch that, it seems even with the Tiger install disk in the drive it won't get past the error screen. So I guess I'm screwed? It's still under the 1 year warrenty, though phone support has run out... Is there any other way to get it to boot? Or do I need to give tech support a call to dig me out of my grave?

Word crashed on opening for me after I installed Tiger. Unbeknownest to me there was an Office update available. I installed it and no problems since then.
Bad install problems
Make sure you hold down the 'C' key while booting, to boot from the CD/DVD. If it makes you feel any better, I had bad problems with this install as well (first really bad problem with any Apple update). I worked with Apple Support: I tried creating a new user (which didn't work), and I tried the Archive and Install (which didn't either). My Mac seems to be spiraling downward, as everything I try makes matters worse -- more and more things crash each time. Guess it's time for an Erase and Install. Thankfully, I have a recent backup for my data....

This update seems to resolve the problem with Acrobat 7 compatability. Now I can view the pdf 3d content. Nice.

Haven't noticed any major change yet.
Thank goodness they didn't give QT the hideous new iTunes "look"

AAC VBR
Interesting, when itunes first gained AAC people were complaining about the lack of VBR, and then there were all sorts of replies that AAC was *by nature* VBR, therefore it was always on and there was no option to turn it off...
Was that proven wrong at some point? Did someone compare a CBR and VBR file to one created by the old itunes/quicktime to see if there was a size difference?

Full-screen
When will Apple bring back full-screen play to QuickTime player? It's ridiculous to make it a "Pro" feature, because its still available in the QT library and with an AppleScript you can even trick QT player into playing back full screen.
Until then I continue to use MPlayer and VLC.

Reboots are downtime?
Well. Is a computer really 'down' if it doesn't actually turn off? I mean, if the requirement for uptime is to have software running on a computer that is performing some sort of beneficial function, then Windows machines would never get beyond 0 sec. uptime.

I get two help menus. Literally. right next to each other.
I also can't hear any audio on the keynote.
Strange.

that's not acceptable as an add-on, it's not even a free application! the (bloatware) media player app bundled with osx should be able to play *all* types of media files, even the propriatary crap which apple does not want to support.
the fact that Ogg Vorbis is *still* unsupported is an embarassment...
Ah.
Well.
Maybe not.
Installed and downloaded the imax trailer at 720.
Got around 2fps
And as i can't save it decided to roll back to 6.5.
