Nice, I'll test out the update when I get home.

Now if only I could disable iDisk on the desktop separately than the other options. Actually, now that I think about it, I think I'm finally ready to not have things mounted on the desktop at all! 'Bout time!

i'll admit that this is a nerdy thing to say but i wish i could remember to wait until Transparedock was able to support an update before i downloaded the update. i ALWAYS forget and am like "oh, right! damn."

seems like the FrontRow problem with new 20" Intel iMacs has been fixed.

Can't wait to check if its true at home
This was the only thing that upset me a bit when my new first ever wonderful iMac arrived 2 weeks ago
