10.7: Software Update now logs all Apple Updates

The Software Update preference pane has always kept a list of Apple updates installed through the Software Update system. The list of updates are shown in the Installed Updates tab. Under 10.7, this list now contains Apple installs done manually or through Software Update. So a user could update print drivers through Software Update, grab the latest iTunes from a site like MacUpdate, and install the iWork trial from the Apple site, and all of these would be listed.

[crarko adds: I wonder if this is due to changes made in the first-run scripts of the packages because of the App Store distribution system.]
