The issue isn't that it's a DOS program - it's that it needs sole access to and control of the drive while it does the firmware update. That *can't* be done from Windows, which is why you boot from bootable media running something like DOS, and all DOS does is serve as a loader to run the update program that flashes the drive BIOS with an updated image. I can probably do without. It doesn't really seem worth all this effort. I like to keep everything up to date. So do I.
