Having cared for a lot of computers, I have no problem with that. In practice 60 seconds more effort after the upgrade, which has left the camera completely functional in the meanwhilst. At the same time it has added considerable functionality. Much faster boot times, much faster file saves, recognises storage devices 16 times as large and option of more automation plus potentially better performance. I can't speak about phones though.

But, if I were Leica, and SW was not my strength, and couldn't afford to develop a proper upgrade procedure, I'd blow away and customer-set defaults and reset the camera. Imagine, if you were to upgrade Verizon's cell phone software and blow away their provisioned parameters. Wouldn't be a happy sight.
