Brief Hands-On Report--MacBook Pro Software Update 1.2

2004–09November 2, 2007Bill FoxReviews
Late yesterday, Apple released MacBook Pro Software Update 1.2. It is available for download via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to Apple,

This update improves graphics stability and is recommended for all MacBook Pro (Mid 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz) computers running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger.

No mention is made of Leopard. Indeed, when we ran Software Update on our 15" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro, it stated that our software is up to date.

Checking the MacBook Pro Software Update 1.2 .pkg file with Pacifist shows that the update includes new Nvidia graphics drivers but not as new as those included with Leopard. Unfortunately, the Nvidia drivers included with Leopard still do not allow our favorite game, Call of Duty 2, to run normally. [Bill Fox]
