All the conversation is in the other threads, but I'll summarize my experience here:
Sometime after 5pm EDT, they seem to have gotten the right downloads in place, and now I've updated the launcher and all three clients successfully. Test is still closed, but I can get on both live and beta. I can access the store in beta without crashing, with readable fonts (I'm on 10.6). I can relaunch live and beta without trashing preferences. I haven't spent appreciable time in the store yet to test stability.
I realize that not all problems are solved, and the old problems haven't been touched, but as far as the I21 headstart goes, it's 1980 and Lake Placid all over again. I'm a software professional, and given what we knew, I didn't see any way they could pull this off in time. Thanks to those who worked the weekend, and I know there must have been a bunch of you.

I've managed to update without a hitch...well there is one. I'm basically addressing the updates though. I haven't attempted to access the store again in Beta because I should be able to play the actual game tomorrow so... I am having a little issue with my mouse which I am about to start a thread about if I can't find the solution in another post. Good luck Starry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping we are the redheaded stepchildren at the start of tomorrow.

please excuse the small print. arthritis makes it difficult to use the shift keys.
My Launcher updated itself today, apparently successfully. Beta and Test show no updates, but the live client does. Great, a head start on the updates, right? Well, it downloads a CoH_0.0.0.0_Installer.dmg file, stutters, then downloads it again, stutters, ad infinitum. I manage to interrupt it and mount it by hand, and the download appears to be v1.0.4296 (which is the version I currently have).
So at this point, the live client claims to need no repairs, shows an update, but won't actually update, instead downloading the current version over and over.
Anyone else seeing updates, and having any luck?
