Apple releases MacBook, MacBook Pro Software Update 1.2
With the new MacBook and MacBook Pro computers shipping today and appearing in stores tomorrow, everyone is waiting to get their hands on one. We can't say when you'll get yours, but we can predict exactly what you'll be doing when you get home with it. That's because Apple just released a software update for the new MacBook and MacBook Pro. Seriously, they couldn't have updated them at the factory?
The update is a whopping 45 MB, and is recommended for all users of the "precision aluminum unibody enclosure MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers introduced in October 2008." (Wow, long description there, Apple).
They note that the update "improves compatibility with external displays and includes a variety of software fixes." If you somehow (magically, perhaps?) have your MacBook/Pro already, you can download the update by opening Software Update (Apple menu > Software Update) or by downloading the installer package from Apple's software downloads website.
Thanks for the tip, Thomas!

The reason they weren't shipped from the factory like that is that they've probably been loaded with the software for a month or two already, during which time the Engineers in Cupertino work out the remaining bugs...

It's shameful that a blogger for TUAW can't figure that out for himself. When I read that line in the blog, my thought was, "What an idiot."

Exactly. I can't believe someone tried to put the fact that Apple have already fixed issues that we aren't even presented with yet, before the products even fully available. I call that good Customer Service. TUAW Calls it 'whopping'

Is 45MB really considered "whopping" these days?

"precision aluminum unibody enclosure MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers introduced in October 2008."
They are really hyping that unibody design...maybe to draw attention away from the complete crippling of the MBP @ $1999.
