Sometimes, to meet dead lines I suppose, Manufacturer launch products 
that will require later download software update and/or firmware upgrade.

  Also, sometimes a product model has 2 or more sub-models (you can see 
"missing" components on the circuit board) which can work with common 
drivers/firmware/BIOS then you have to make an update/upgrade for a 
model with some extra features.

If you were a PC Tech, this wouldn't be a WTF :-) it happens all the 
time. Well at least has an easy and fast solution which is what it 
counts to be a practical product.

Cheers.
