It's high past time Apple did this...and, really, The Powers That Be at Apple should know better by now.
It looks to me as if the UI colour management is much more of a mess than John suggests.
On a wide gamut display the Finder image previews of tagged images are still far too saturated to be considered correctly "colour managed"
Likewise application icons are too saturated too. If I launch the Get Info dialog then both the top left mini icon in the window and the large Preview version are correct on my Mac -- why aren't the Finder and Dock icons the same colour?
I checked the Macs here that are running 10.6.8 and they also exhibit similar problems although it is less noticeable because they are calibrated for RGB image editing and the discrepancy between icons and the images we're editing is less obvious. But, if I open a web browser and watch streamed TV I can see that the results are also unwatchable because the images are far too saturated on wide gamut displays.
The only options I seem to be left with are either setting the displays to factory AdobeRGB or sRGB presets and then building a monitor profile, or doing the usual full hardware calibration and profile and then using the profiling software to emulate a destination profile.
All because Apple want to turn workstations into iPads :(
