well.
it would help if i could get the software update to load.
...strange...
EDIT:took two tries. got it. things look good.
This update fixes the bug in iTunes 7.6.1 where the last few seconds of the last track on a CD would be cut off.
Those are the words I have been longing to hear for weeks. 
After I updated my MacBook Pro, the keyboard didn't work. Had to restart it, now it works OK.
Here's a FR bug they still haven't fixed: whenever I select a movie in Front Row and start playing it, then go back to the movies list to select another, as soon as I stop on another movie, the selection immediately jumps back to the movie I previously selected. In other words, you have to quit front row then restart it if you want to play another movie. Anyone else annoyed with this?
I was really looking forward for FR interface to become similar to AppleTV.

Any new functionality would be welcomed. Too bad these were just all bug fixes. Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the bug fixes.
Looking forward to 10.5.3 and June for the new Xcode.
It's good to see Front "irrelevant" Row, i"bloatware"Tunes and Quick"security flaw"time getting updated.
