Apple has been quietly shipping revisions to the first 15" machines  
with the heat issue.  There was a problem with the thermal  
conductivity paste applied to the cpu cores that didn't allow the  
heat to dissipate to the heat pipes.  However, the Core Duo didn't  
meet Intel's advertised specs on power consumption and that issue is  
likely to not be solved anytime soon since it's an architectural  
design issue.  Anything with a Core Duo can double as a portable camp  
stove.
