And BTW - if you really need to see what got updated in this update, look at /System/Library/Frameworks/Quicktime.framework/Versions/A/Quicktime That file will be dated the same as the day you installed the update. Before people get all upset because they think Apple left something out of their update, you have to understand how Mac OS X applications are built. You can look at the Quicktime framework as a library, but this is incorrect because it is more. OS X's object-oriented frameworks, including Quicktime, allow for development of full-featured applications in a fraction of the time they would need for procedural languages. The OS X frameworks make use of core functionality contained in traditional C and C++ libraries brought forward from legacy application environments. So an OS X framework is a library container, but it can contain many types of libraries, their headers, and associated resources. Updating a core framework, therefore, will update all applications that use it. In this case, that includes Preview. If you're not a developer, don't worry about it. Just install the updates, and enjoy. Then if something doesn't work, complain loudly. We'll get right on it :-) -- Chris
