Based on the few threads I've seen over on the apple discussion forums yes, it appears to correct the problems.

I did the update, but i cannot verify if the issues are fixed because of the fact that it was happening under windows and that mac side.
i mostly use a mouse now though.

It doesn't seem to have made my trackpad click response any better which is disappointing because it now feels this may be more hardware than software. Windows is still a mess with this pad too so I am another person who is forced to use a mouse more often than I'd like.

I had the non-click problem bad on my MBP but since applying the update it hasn't missed a single click so it seems fixed to me. It always seemed like just a software bug and not a hardware issue to me.

I believe so, yes.

Although, I think the responsiveness could be tweaked a little more.

I never had any issues on my MBP before the update, but this update didn't break anything, either. Boot Camp... now that's another issue.

The update does seem to have solved the problem for me. I do have the trackpad set to tap mode, and it has responded to every tap since I updated last night. I do not use Windows, so I can't comment on that.

I have noticed that commands become difficult if the tips of my fingers are extremely dry.

I haven't had a single missed click with heavy usage since applying the update. Hopefully this means case closed on this issue.
