OMG! I can't wait! Finally fixing the DNS order problem! It is such a nuisance to not have a fallback DNS server on an ActiveDirectory network! I can't imagine what people who run corporate-level networks were doing... probably still on 10.5 I guess. Terrible bug, can't wait for the fix!

Any idea when this is likely to be released?

Apple needs to fix the problems of not being able to stream some QT files without setting Safari to 32-bit mode, and even then streaming files larger than 100 MB is risky. This is a major problem for those of us using or creating sites like Linda.com. It should be an embarrassment for Apple when the competition like FireFox and Chrome get it right and Safari gets it wrong. It is generally agreed by heavy QT users that QTX shipped far too early as a buggy piece of code. I hope Apple gets it right in 10.6.3 and waits as long as necessary before release to get it right once and for all.
