Answering this question is really taking the fun out of watching this developer forum thrive. But if you insist:
1. Install CYGWIN.
2. Use instructions above.
Now you'll be able to actually use this knowledge with the rest of the threads on this sub-forum. Amazing!

Takes all the fun out of it.
Personally, I feel that you've gone above and beyond in supplying the instructions that you have.
Perhaps some of the people in this forum should take a quick trip through the wireless router third party firmware forums. Nothing like locating and using a JTAG connnector in the hope of being able to recover a bricked router for sheer fun compared to booting your PC from a Linux live distribution CD and typing a few lines.
On the flip side, I would have to comment that having the firmware loader do a check before flashing to ensure the correct device is being flashed should not be all that hard. Most PC BIOS upgrades for a few decades now have implemented that functionality.
On yet another hand, is there a reason that when I sideloaded books onto my new Glo, I had to power cycle it before the cover images would work?
