On the fence

[Brad Barton]

The title might be little misleading. I'm definitely going to buy a Prime, but I'm on the fence as whether to pull the trigger right away, or wait until they become available with the "just-on-the-horizon" firmware update.

The only thread I could find about updating the firmware suggested that the users were having a hard time getting through that step, but that could've been a Linux issue. If that's a problem on all platforms, I don't want to buy one and be stuck with the older firmware.

I'm running Win8 and would like to know if anyone has been successful using the Prime connectivity kit on Win8 to make firmware updates. If it's a no-brainer, that'll help me decide when to buy. If it's a problem, I'll wait. Does anyone have experience with that?
