Dude, software updates make everyone happy... until after the update when they find that the update has just killed something or other...
But in a way, it's just like Christmas; you grab the presents, hope it's an iPod, unwrap it, find out it's a book, cry, wish you'd gotten the iPod, wait until next Christmas for the iPod, repeat.

From the apple website: "Improves the accuracy of the Software Update progress bar indicator."
This is funny cos we have to wait till the next update to get the benefit.
