While I can understand the need for the less tech-savvy, I really despise having wireless devices call the mothership without my permission. I usually keep mine in airplane mode, but I turned on wifi the other day and it immediately connected and started the download.
As stated here in other posts, the update doesn't address some of the nook's most sought after concerns (like eBook organization, goto page, etc.). It added chess and sudoku, a web browser for connecting to wifi spots that require http authentication, and moved the wifi settings to its own icon, rather than burying it in "settings" (though it's still there is as well.)
As far as performance, I really can't tell a difference. I never complained about the speed of page turns since I've used eInk screens for years and know to hit the next-page button slightly ahead of time.
