Apparently it doesn't work on Mountain Lion. What do we do if we're on ML?

I'm assuming we do one of two things:
1. Disregard this update because it was already baked in ML GM.
2. Wait until ML actually hits and the updater is updated (theres a funny saying) to support it.

Safari feels snappier!

Sounds like a good plan.

If you have a MB from June 2012 to now, the update works. If you have a MB from Feb 2012 it doesn't work.

Yeah mid 2012 MBA. Doesn't show up in the Mac App Store so you installed it using the direct download?

Are you serious about that? I hope so!

This is great - My new 13 inch has actually been running a lot warmer than I was expecting and the battery life, while very good, isn't as good as my wifes 13 inch that is 2 years old.

Maybe this will do the trick!

Skype isn't working anymore. Am I the only one?

1. Disregard this update because it was already baked in ML GM.

Its a FW update so its not allready in ML...

Lets hope a ML FW updater will be relesed also.

I just downloaded it manually. I'll report back if my computer blows up.

Edit: Apple said shut up. Can't install on ML.

Nowhere does it say this is a firmware update.

Says it need 10.7.4 or earlier. No go on ML (for now).

You are right, i though it was a FW update but it isnt.

It must be very minor updates because I see no difference in the performance of my rMBP since installing it. Still fast, still <wait for it> awesome.

I got message "This software is not supported on your system." I have MBA 2011 model. version 10.7. I used manual install.

Edit: The website says "This update is recommended for all Mac notebooks introduced since June 2012." Does that mean 2011 models can't use it at all?

Considering it says its for the new MBA and MBP models, thats not at all surprising.

I like how the update package contains over 60MB of desktop images and user icons.
I can't think of any remote reason why these would need changing/updating...

Doing a quick check on a 10.7.4 machine without this update, they're identical in size, resolution, everything. I'm also curious what the point for this is.

EDIT: Looking further into the pkg, this seems to update Dock.app and various supporting files, frameworks, and bundles.

That makes sense, I've noticed the dock getting out of control processor usage a couple times on the rMBP.

Doesn't fix the i7 issues under windows, in case anyone was wondering
