Do you have a reason not to get it? It's a software update that does all kinds of good things for you...come on in, the water's fine...so, run Software Update to find out...

Just hit Apple-I on the FCP icon in your apps folder. You'll then see what version you've got. Even faster than Steve's suggestion!

FWIW, personally, I'm more cautious about updates. I ran a network integration business for 20 years and we would never apply software updates (particularly o/s updates) automatically. Our experience was that the user community ends up testing updates much more thoroughly than the developers; so it often pays to wait at least a few weeks before applying updates. If the update release notes show a fix for a specific bug that you're experiencing, that's one thing, but updates for the sake of updates is another. I like to check www.macintouch.com to see what other, braver souls are reporting before I jump in. As an example, a bunch of people had problems in Final Cut with a recent Quicktime update, I think it was 7.2; it really paid to wait for the next iteration. My two cents... |

10 years of professional IT...I also wait for early adopters to kill their machines before doing updates...I'm reminded of one of the early iTunes updates that would delete all of your music if you stored it on any partition other than the main one. I stored my music on a separate disk as I had imported every CD I own (hundreds of them). I'm very glad I waited for that one.
There are always folks who will use the systems in ways that can't be accounted for in any company's QA testing before releasing the system updates. not only macintouch (previously mentioned), but also http://www.macfixit.com http://www.macrumors.com http://www.architosh.com http://www.macnn.com These all cover the mac world from separate angles and can catch things (plus info sharing w/ one another - voluntary or not) from different sectors' workflows. |

I don't think the original post was asking if it was safe to update but wanted to know if their new version already had the updates in it. Hence the hint of brevity in some of the responses.
