uh... it's been working for me since... well, since forever
My bookmark syncing stopped working sometime in the past two weeks. Not sure what happened to it. Maybe this update will fix it.
The new widgets are really nice.
Anyone having any problems yet with the update?
All the updates went like butter, and QT and itunes are "teh snappy (TM)".
Video playback in itunes is really solid now, a lot of bugs are worked out.
No problems at all, and a much smaller filesize than I had expected.
Why did they change the Calendar widget? I liked the old one better.
i upgraded from 10.4.2
solid so far... most everything seems a bit snappier
No problems here.
Having to re-arrange my dashboard widgets though to suit the different shape of Apple's Calendar. What a chore! 
Wonder when someone's going to get 10.4.4 working on generic hardware. The race is on.

Does this finally fix the Safari Bookmarks not updating via iSync? This has been broken since April in otherwords since 10.4 came.
