Canon and Linux, part 2

5 days ago, I sent a complaint email to Canon about their lack of support for Linux (or any operating system other than Microsoft Windows or Apple OS-X) when it comes to upgrading the firmware of my camera. I received this standard email reply today:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.

Your query has been sent to the appropriate group and is currently under investigation.

Yours sincerely,

Canon Support Centre

We aim to answer queries as soon as possible. Responses on average take 2 to 3 business days (or the next working day if submitting on a weekend or public holiday).

If I read between the lines, it looks like the Christmas period was out of hours so the average of 2 to 3 business days probably starts now.
