you said you were going to buy a new macbook PRO and you refered to an update soon, Im sorry to tell you but the update to the macs that is coming soon is for the iMacs the Mac mini and the MACBOOK, not the macbook PRO (the mbP was already updated this summer). Meaning that in a few days (although some thought today) apple will update the MACBOOK, which is the lighter cheaper and slower version with a of the macbook PRO plastic body and most certainly not 17".

So if you plan on getting the 17" macbook PRO, go right ahead.
However, the only reason to wait a few days is that it is rumored there will also be a update to the mighty mouse with multitouch capabilities to come out alongside the new macs if you plan to get one.

As to the new update, i do not know when it will be released but it is likely to come with the new macs but will obviously be a free upgrade if you buy a macbook pro with the current software.

Wait howd u get the update? Doesnt show up for me when i do software update? Or are u a developer and got it earlier? But that sucks btw. I hope they can fix that before they release it publically. You should definatley like report that problem to apple cause otherwise that could cause a huge problem for a lot of people.
