Another lucky Mac user here. I upgraded my 505 on Parallels with no problems.

What *exactly* is the problem upgrading on a VM? Don't be afraid to get dirty, I'm a hardware engineer (with no experience on PCs). Does this problem also exist when dumping books down to the Reader? If not, is there some sort of error-checking that happens when dumping books that doesn't happen when upgrading firmware? I ask because I've never had a problem putting a book on the Reader from Parallels either.
