The new iCal in month view is fairly frustrating.
A comfortable win and a return to the top of the league—with a game in hand.
A long-standing bug with the default signature for replies is fixed… in Mac OS X 10.5.

A basic keyboard sequence is broken through the apparent carelessness of Apple’s engineers.
A long-standing problem with the Finder is finally fixed.

An unexpected, unexplained limitation for sorting search results in the Finder.
The Finder still cannot eject mounted disk images reliably.
Safari becomes a bit more usable for people with limited bandwidth (like me).
