You would think a big event was coming next week with all these updates.

I wonder if they snuck in the 720p AVCHD support in iMovie for the new iPhone?

Has anyone applied this latest ilife update? Software update seems to hang my machine before it has even applied that update (the other updates worked fine).

Strange. Software Update hung both of my machines when ilife update was the first item on the list. I had to power cycle them, then install the other (non-ilife) updates using Software Updater, then install ilife update manually.

I don't know what else you had sitting in Software Update, but mine updated all at once.

I found iPhoto '09 to be a little slow and buggy at first, but it's doing much better for me after the last few updates.
