GORDON142  Firmware updates just fix problems, they don't add new features. Apple releases firmware update even to models that were discontinued years ago if there is a specific issue for which an update is needed. Why do you think your firmware needs an update?  
(Version 1.2)

PEDRO FARDILHA  You should be happy hat there's no need of firmware updates for your macbook pro, that means it was already stable when it was built!!  
(Version 1.2)

ESPIRIT  God cry more. I have a 2.33 C2D 15" which is going on 11 months old, and now even the lowly macbook has a higher RAM capacity and is cheaply configurable with much larger HD's AND has a faster FSB!

Its how technology works. If you, today, bought a brand new, top of the line, 2.6GHz 17" MBP with the higher resolution display, etc etc you would be saying the exact same thing 6 months from now! Be happy with what you have. If it isn't enough for you, then sell it and buy a new one. If you can't, then read the sentence before last again.

And like the others said, being "left out" is a good thing in this case. Firmware updates like this aren't just for fun, they are fixing problems with the current revision. Why would you WANT problems which needed fixing? If there aren't any issues, you should be glad and snicker at the wait-and-see'ers who have had issues which make updates such as this necessary.

PETER DA SILVA  This isn't about "waah, my laptop's not bleeding edge any more". It's about "my laptop's not getting supported any more".

I also have the original Macbook Pro, and there are issues with the graphics and stability. Could they be fixed by firmware changes, or by software changes? I don't know, but it's unlikely they're going to be.  
(Version 1.2)

TOMNIBUS  Exactly, Peter Da Silva, it's not that it's not bleeding edge anymore, it's that as soon as the newer version comes out, the older versions aren't supported anymore.  
(Version 1.2)

PEDRO FARDILHA  Ok, let me put it this way:

Was your MacBook Pro crashing for unknown reasons?

(Mine wasn't ;)

If not, you should follow that old and wise rule:

"If it ain't broke don't try to fix it!!"  
(Version 1.2)

PETER DA SILVA  Um "yes". Definitely, that would be "yes".  
(Version 1.2)

LEE123  I have a first gen mbp 15" and software update installed the update. So I would guess that your computer REALLY does not need this update.  
(Version 1.1)

LINKSTER82  Actually, no on several counts. The fact that Apple is not releasing new firmware updates for your revision A 17" neither means it is no longer "bleeding edge", nor does it mean that apple is no longer supporting it. It means that there are no known issues that blanket the revision (a few anomalous computers with issues does not mean the whole revision is bad, therefore requiring a fix) and therefore nothing to fix. you should be happy there are no firmware updates because that means they finally got it right.  
(Version 1.1)

LINKSTER82  also, as long as you can call into apple and they don't tell you your computer is no longer supported, it's supported. chances are, if it can run the latest version of the operating system, it's supported.  
(Version 1.1)

SERGEY DMITRIEV  Somehow Software Update do offer me to install this patch again and again. Done 3 times, there is .dom file in /Library/Receipts , but SU still do offer it. I have MBP Core 2 Duo (2,2 late 2006).

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Go here:

http://www.equinux.com/us/products/support.html?pid=2

and click on the link there that asks the question "Are your products compatible with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)?"

You'll find this info:

"VPN Tracker 4 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), and due to fundamental changes in the operating system, we will not be able to patch this version. However, we have just entered the beta phase for VPN Tracker 5, and intend to invite a couple of current users of VPN Tracker 4 to test the new version. If you're interested in using VPN Tracker 5 on Leopard (or on any other supported system), please apply at this website."  
(Version 4.9.3)

TOMNIBUS  Yeah, thanks for responding! Yes, I checked the site and saw that now. :-D I just purchased the product on october 1 so I'm looking forward to the upgrade. I also applied for the beta program but I could also wait for version 5. Hopefully it will be soon.

TOMNIBUS  I had to change the download URL from 86 to 87 and I was able to find the 8.7 files.
