Apple releases Thunderbolt update
A Thunderbolt Firmware Update, offering "performance and stability fixes" for all Mac's supporting the high-speed data connectivity standard has been released by Apple. The update provides performance and stability improvements for Thunderbolt. "When your computer restarts a grey screen will appear with a status bar to indicate the progress of the update. Do not disturb or shut off the power on your computer during this update." Further information on exactly what the update does beyond the general note regarding "fixes" is unclear, equally which machines the update applies to, as Apple does not specify at the download site if it applies to latest MacBook Pro or iMac or both, although the update page displays an image of a MacBook Pro. So, if you're in doubt check via Software Update - it's not a huge download as the Thunderbolt Firmware Update weighs in at a mere 486 KB.
