This is not a job of bios engineers. Microcode update is supplied by Intel (usually before the chips entering the market). By the way, C2D 65nm. has a bit longer errata list.

Well the microcode update would have to be added into the bios and new bios prepared and released no? I do remember there being a bunch of issues with 65nm C2D and I think there was a microcode update for those.

If you look at the list of errata there are a lot of "bios workaround" mentions. For example the most recent addition - AW51 from 02/01/2008.
