Keyboard update was "only" 19.4MB for me via the Software Update menu.
That's still incredibly huge for a keyboard software update!  |

You could always take it somewhere and accidentally drop it behind your tire and then back up over it.

I'm at work so I can't test this yet. Does the keyboard update allow the new keyboards to be recognized at boot time? I.E. Can you bring up the Bootcamp Menu by holding Option at startup?

I would assume that you installed the update. Does it work properly with Boot Camp? I'm interested in finding out. |

I haven't been able to get it to work on boot. So, I can't boot from CD, Bootcamp... nothing.  Why did they release this update if they weren't going to fix the most important bug?
The specialty keys work properly now though... whoopedee dooo! I turn this feature off anyway since I'd rather not use the fn key to use the default F keys.
I love the feel of the keyboard... I just wish it would work like every other keyboard on the planet. I find it odd that the only problems I've ever had with keyboards on a Mac are Apple branded. My ultra old BenQ USB keyboard works perfectly fine on boot... my brand new Aluminum keyboard doesn't. Ugh.
