Surely it will have to unpack itself a bit.
They said that the update is done in-place and apparently without a reboot.
More often than not the installers and updaters decide unilaterally that a reboot is required and force the user to perform one when it's not needed.

I know, it'll be like the great Safari massacre all over again, where Apple singlehandedly drove Firefox and Chrome to stop releasing Mac versions. Not to mention the Day When Email Apps' Blood Ran Like Water In The Streets, when everyone stopped using Exchange and Gmail because Apple released Mail.app.
And don't even talk to me about what iChat did to Skype. I can't bear to think of it....
This App Store-only distribution has me concerned about small business upgrades. Let's say I have an office with 10 workstations. How do I upgrade? Do I have to create an iTunes account for each computer, and enter a company credit card number on each one? Can multiple iTunes accounts even share the same credit card number? Perhaps I could get by with two accounts, since iTunes allows sharing on up to five Macs. But…
Great news. Now if only they just did away with the optical drives on MBP's. I have used mine about... twice in three years since owning my current laptop.

Devils advocate, is it much more of a step then downloading all the other software updates that have been released since you acquired your disc?
It is an ugly step when you have to go through 3 or 4 updates in row that require reboots.
Apple distributes combo updates that will take you straight from a base 10.6 install to 10.6.7. You don't play the goofy multiple-version update game.
I hope a normal DVD will be available on the quiet.

This is par for the course with Apple. I remember back in the day there was this super popular shareware app called Aaron that gave System 7 users a System 8 looking theme. Keep in mind this was the dark ages of Apple. Aaron evolved into Kaleidoscope. A general purpose shareware theme manager that was met with enthusiasm by the Mac community. Kaleidoscope was synonymous with themes on Mac OS. http://www.kaleidoscope.…
