I installed this a couple of hours before it was posted on AppleInsider.
All is fine.
No problems on PMG5 dual 2GHz and TiBookG4 550MHz.
I read somewhere that it now makes you authenticate before installing widgets. While this is a good thing in theory, but isn't Dashboard designed so everyone (admins as well as regular users use it).
Restricting Dashboard this way seems like it would be more suitable as a Parental control setting.
It's CUPS not cups. Common Unix Printing System.

Just checked -- no such behavior is present post-update. All is as it was.
