FIDE's July 2007 Rating List - Revised
For the top 20, there are several changes from initial release:

(1) Topalov has one more point, putting him into a tie with Kramnik (and technically ahead of him, based on playing more games in the last quarter).

(2) Mamedyarov is in the same spot, but with two more rating points.

(3) Adams is neither #14 nor #25 (nor both), but is #15, with 7 fewer points than in the #14 placement of several days ago. He thus switches places with Alexander Grischuk.

(4) Kamsky is in the same spot (#17), but with an extra point.

Other than this, the initial list was perfect.

Here's the top 20:

1 Anand, Viswanathan 2792
3 Topalov, Veselin 2769
3 Kramnik, Vladimir 2769
4 Ivanchuk, Vassily 2762
5 Morozevich, Alexander 2758
6 Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar 2757
7 Leko, Peter 2751
8 Aronian, Levon 2750
9 Radjabov, Teimour 2746
10 Jakovenko, Dmitry 2735
11 Shirov, Alexei 2735
12 Svidler, Peter 2735
13 Gelfand, Boris 2733
14 Grischuk, Alexander 2726
15 Adams, Michael 2724
16 Kamsky, Gata 2718
17 Carlsen, Magnus 2710
18 Akopian, Vladimir 2708
19 Polgar, Judit 2707
20 Ponomariov, Ruslan 2706

Andrey:
List by countries is also interesting: http://www.fide.com/ratings/topfed.phtml
I didn't realize that US basically shares the second place in the world (with Ukraine and Germany) in terms of the number of GMs. It is also interesting that China has more GMs than IMs.
