System seems a bit slower when connecting, but this may be due to traffic on the site I visited.
Anyone else install this and having similar issues?

So much for discussing the update, any issues or responses to valid questions, as once again we spiral towards the useless flame war... disappointing to say the least.

'Whilst' you're at it, install Windows7 which is just as 'polished' as OSX. I know, I run both on a dual boot Dell 10v. 'MB's of drivers and other features which never get used...' sitting on your hard drive, just like the printer files and additional languages in OSX, don't bog anything down.

BUY A MAC!!!

Got a little buyers remorse there? I have no real use for OSX but if it runs on a $180 computer, why the hell would I spend ten times that for the same thing? By the way, your analogy is flawed. People do engine swaps in cars all the time because it's a challenge and makes the car a sleeper. It's the exact same with a netbook running OSX. It provides the user a challenge and then he can say "Yep, here's OSX on my cheap little netbook running just as well as your $2000 Mac".

Every time Apple tries to circumvent jailbreaking or other means of forcing users out of their locked down OS, the hacking/jailbreaking community forces them two steps back. This little inconvenience really won't matter in the long run. Someone will easily find a way to patch the Atom support back in.
