The update is here (UK)!

[Ditronics]

Spain here and update already installed, my battery goes crazy!!

By the way: still no references updated on Microsoft Surface Pro 2 update history | Surface firmware updates

May be too early on US or they are using europeans to test issues

Not seeing the update here, London UK, with a surface bought end of December so with an OK firmware. (yeah I know, I bought it a week before the upgrade, but this machine seems solid as a rock so am happy to keep it )

Ok screw me. I still have a signitivcant battery drain too. About 5 hours on medium usage. I think the runtime has increased, but its still far from the "old" one.

You sure you haven't installed any background software since then? Like dropbox for example...
Those are known for significantly reducing the battery time.
Is the brightness like in past too?

For those of you that that have seen and installed this update did you have failed or successful December firmware updates?

Been repeatedly checking for the update here for the past few hours, no luck in Central New York.

I'm also from Spain, and no update so far.

Maybe this firmware is to screw up the 4300u models so they stop people returning their 4200's for exchange?

I'd like to take this a step further if I may because I'm wondering if this firmware is working good on the newer units than it is on the units with the botched firmware issues. Not necessarily working better but since Microsoft was 3-4 days late getting this out then there is a good chance that it isn't totally complete as CreativeLemming has suggested.

For me:

New Unit (after botched firmware)
Got the new firmware
No Problems

Hahaha I don't see the update yet, the only update I have is for "Microsoft Camera Codec Pack" and it fails to install every time.

Stay classy Microsoft.

My December update was successful.

Have the original 4200
