After installed this firmware update I get after every start up of my Intel iMac a message: "your firmware has been updated". Do more people have this problem? How do I get rid of this message?

Am I the only one whose Macbook doesn't fry his lap anymore after this update? The extreme heat generated by my macbook has virtually disappeared, and I can now place the system on my lap without fear of jeopardizing my chances of being a father.

I'm not fond of firmware updates either, #10. That's why I took my precautions by downloading and burning Apple's Firmware Restoration CD first. As I expected from Apple, the update went flawless on my Mac mini. I didn't notice any differences though.

(You can find the 'Firmware Restoration CD' on the support.apple.com site using the searchfield)

My macbook keeps making the drive eject over and over in sleep mode. I hope this fixes it.

My MacBook Pro (week 15) doesn't whine anymore (yes!) but there's still a mooing sound on the bottom right side

One thing I noticed is that on my MacBookPro, the Windows installation always took boot order priority over the OS X installation. After this firmware update OS X seems to have been made default.
