I just ran the update. I may be wrong, but it looks like Time Machine’s look has changed in system preferences.

Cory,
You are correct Time Machine now features a new GUI control, similar to one used on the iPhone.
Cedric 22nd August 2007, 10.15 am

Once again, I could be wrong, but it looks like the “Print” and “voice over utility” sections has been updated as well.
Cedric 22nd August 2007, 20.39 pm

Cedric: It seems to be faster, but I’m noticing new UI display issues & various apps (such as iCal) crash when I try to open them now.
laurent 22nd August 2007, 23.49 pm
Ical works for me. for now, only time machine crash and some ui display issues.
regards

Turns out my iCal issue was a bad alias. [stupid me!] All better now.
