The problem is because you are emulating a Windows environment, you are in a sense sharing the USB port. If your emulator loses control of the USB port during the time critical updating of the firmware, the update won't work and you could brick your reader. As HarryT said, you are safest to use Bootcamp or a Windows machine.
