It is, after all, talk about a software update...
And as such, we're used to it allready... How many motherboards doens't have to be flashed for you to be able to use your cpu to it's full extent?
How many mp3 players haven't had to be updated to fix certain errors, include support for other formats etc....
(I know my old Creative Jukebox (original) certainly needed a few)
Well, I'm tending to agree with agrav8r more on this side. Flashing a mobo is one thing....as geeks (or pseudo-geeks) we fully expect to have to handle certain things like this ourselves when we build a system.
I don't agree on the mp3 player side. This is end-user equipment and should be handled/sold as such without any necessary firmware upgrades necessary. Many people just wouldn't have a clue if they were asked to do this.
