    Looks like M$ is trying to weed out the pirated copies of Office X by killing all known pirated serial numbers when you install this update. Either that or there are some serious bugs with the installer. See some complaints here.

    If you take a look at the release notes, under the Quartz text smoothing heading, you'll notice that you need 10.1.5 in order to to have Quartz work.

    Seems like the new version update is finally around the corner.

      No, no, no... Quartz works with or without the OS update. That is the graphics layer in OS X. The OS update is required to utilize some of the Quartz enhancements in Quartz Extreme...
