Well perhaps not *immediately*. An early iTunes installer got this
wrong and stomped all over disks when it was shipped.

I didn't mind that control bar so much, until I realized it has
a side effect: a Quicktime Player X window cannot be resized
to show, say, a 320x180 video at native resolution. That is,
the Window must always be large enough to accommodate
the fixed width control bar.

I know videos that size aren't the norm. But I do use them from
time to time if I want to email a very small (in KB) movie.

Apple haven't (apparently) updated the way they calculate
download sizes. The size of the combo update is given as
784MB: Snow Leopard Finder reports it as 822MB.

822 ≈ 784 x 2^20/10^6

The download for my MBP was only 460 or so MB.

That's an incremental update, though?

I'm operating on the presumption that combos
are for all systems, so there would be only one
10.6.3 client combo update.
