Apple Releases Multi-Touch Trackpad Update for Windows & Vista

Thursday December 18, 2008 3:20 pm PST by Eric Slivka
Apple today released Multi-Touch Trackpad Update for Windows & Vista for Macs running Windows XP or Vista via Boot Camp. The update installs trackpad patch v 2.1.2.100 and weighs in at 3.7 MB. Full details on the update can be found on Apple's support page.

Apple notes that computers running 64-bit versions of Vista are not automatically offered this update, so these users should manually download the update and install it.

I hope Snow Leopard includes Boot Camp 3.0 so crap like this is sorted out and the whole Boot Camp experience is much better (and not just limited to people with Macs made in '08).

Any link to where to get the Vista 64 driver? The one linked at this page doesn't work.

This hopefully fixes all trackpad issues on Windows. If they can go on now and release new power optimized drivers for all hardware components in the notebooks so we get better battery life in Windows, then i applaud them.

This is retarded. They say that 64-bit OS's won't work with this update, and to download a separate one made for Vista64 from their site, but they never show you were to get it.
