This rubbish is so damned annoying and unnecessary. The devices I have
which do not comply are an Asus M2N-E SLI motherboard, purchased 2007-
12-02 and still in daily use, a Pentax K7 DSLR and two dashcams. Each
of these items is entirely indifferent to whatever OS is being used so
long as the BIOS/firmware update file can be copied onto a flash memory
device and inserted.

I would like to have a nice Meade telescope but so long as the autostar
update application is windows only I shall not be spending any money
with them.
