Release the hounds!

I downloaded the combo updater straight from the site (343MB) just out of sheer paranoia. In very rare instances in the past, the smaller update via Software Update was missing some things that running the combo updater gave you, so out of habit I install the combo updater version. And of course the graphics update as well.

I like the way that stacks can be disabled (or, better put, that "automatic" knows when the list is too unwieldy for stacks and defaults to list view). I don't game so I can't tell what graphics improvements came with the new driver.

The update also claims to improve 802.1x compatibility. My new Trendnet TEW-633GR draft n router doesn't play nice with my MBP when there's any combination of .n enabled, so I have to be running at .g. When I get time I'll try to set the router back to .n and see if the MBP will keep a stable connection.
