The 7 people that receive one in 2013 will appreciate this update

Failed attempt at humor. There will be many more than 7 receiving this in 2013. And many more in Jan 2014.

Actually it was quite good. At least it has more upvotes than your comment

Great! I hope it fixes the problem that I get when... oh wait!

Failed detection of hyperbole resulted in your not finding this humorous.

 

[lesferdinand]

Already an update? That's reassuring.

Actually, it is. It means they've been manufacturing units for at least some time. If manufacturing had to wait till firmware development was complete, there would be no stock on launch day.

8 if you count the Project RED one from auction.

 

[MvdM]

This update is one that I wish I could receive.

You can!

 

[GenesisST]

It's there. Just open your eyes.

Sorry, I forgot to indicate that my comment was said as humour (whether it was funny is irrelevant) ;-)

You would think that the KB on Apple's web site would at least have the correct image of a Late 2013 Mac Pro. Oh wait, maybe THEY don't have one yet either!

In the words of the Onion, "in the business world, where people use computers for actual work and not just dicking around."

Windows 8 with Metro presents HUGE workflow and user friendliness issues. It actually gets in your way of doing things. So I really wonder what you're talking about here, unless we're talking about Windows 7.

What took so long?

You do realise that The Onion is not an actual news site, even though they have more news than "actual" news sites and this Business World, is it like West World and Future World, because it sure feels like it.

Improves bits of Bootcamp? Who on earth would sully this thing with a Windows boot partition?

Many professionals use Windows on Mac hardware, because Windows has much better drivers than OS X and more software.

Your post shows, that you are not in the target group.

Yeah, 8.

I'm pretty sure the poster was being funny... People take things way too seriously sometimes in here... ;-)

The problem here is that if you come here for intelligent information or discussion, you are now largely wasting your time. I guess the forum moderators want their forum to be a place for bad comedians to show their wares rather than Mac users to intelligence.

I intelligence just fine, but you kind of prove his point.

 

[ZOZO]

You can!

Thanks! Downloading now to pretend I have one. I'll install it by moving files around with no clear purpose.

Yeah, 8.

More software? Yes, but I take quality over quantity any day.

Better drivers? Care to give a real life example? Anything that you plug into a Mac that is officially and explicitly supported runs as expected.

Good to see Tony Fadell was clearly using Apple's Bug Reporter

 

[saschke]

Yupp, runs much more stable now. Bootcamp energy management is fiercely improved.

Safari seems snapier!

I like you.


On topic comment so mods don't flip out: Well, this should certainly improve things and stuff on the new Mac Pro! Yup!

 

[NMBob]

Why?? It fixes a number of issue. Seems like they are on the ball to me.

Seems like they turned on the website before it was ready. Oh wait...that's something else.

Unfortunately you have contributed neither intelligent information nor discussion to this thread. At best quoting attempts at humor will only encourage more.

Whether or not humor is funny is actually the opposite of irrelevant.

Sure feels truthful at times, though, doesn't it?

... Plus a lot of the political satire, and the people merely dicking around on computers comment...
