I haven't seen the spinning beach ball since the update, everything seems snappier, widgets, safari, mail, but do all good things last for ever, hmmm

And as someone has mentioned, yeah Safari is logging onto sites more promptly now

I'm happy

10.4.3 never came up in Software Update. Anyway I got the combo updater and everything seems the same.

Safari is still crap with animated gifs.

My Disk Utilities showed many repair things, and it show again and again for each time run.
Not so sure about that.
The rest seems quite ok

Had trouble downloading through Software Update, got to about 41.0 mb and it would stop downloading. Outside of that, I have not had a problem.

If anyone's interested, you can find a more detailed list of changed at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301984

I've not yet installed the update. I'm going to verify/repair my boot volume first, and before I do that, I need to.....find my freakin' Tiger DVD! Where the heck did I put that thing.........

Well, then there is also the fact that one of Apple's NeXTStep'ers decided to rename the 'fast user switching' menu's 'Login Window...' and 'Account Preferences...' menu items - as 'LOG_OUT_STRING' and 'ACCOUNT_PREFERENCES_STRING', respectively!

Sehr interessant!, A previously cloned copy of MacOS X 10.4.2 was updated via MacOS X 10.4.3 UpdateCombo; and its 'fast user switching' menu's 'Login Window...' and 'Account Preferences...' menu items are properly displayed.

Very interesing ...

Copying the 'user.menu' MenuExtra plugin from the external Firewire drive's '/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/' folder to the boot drive's equivalent folder, returned the 'fast user switching' menu's 'Login Window...' and 'Account Preferences...' menu items.
