The iMac Software Update 1.0 is apparently for the brand-new iMacs, as those are the only ones with 2.0, 2.4, and 2.8 gHz processors. IOW, Apple releases a bug fix the day after they start selling the iMac. That's not hard to understand: the iMacs were built and had their OS installed some time ago.
