We summarize results on the transition temperature in QCD and analyze the relation between deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration.11 pages, pleanry talk given at 'The XXV International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory', July 30-4 August 2007, Regensburg, GermanyHigh Energy Physics - LatticeHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
