Well, I think windows has some workaround or something or uses different drive access method. That firmware obviously fixes the problem, and it doesn't affect windows at all - the drive is functioning properly, including burning and reading CDs/DVDs. Well, it's your choice after all. I chose to upgrade firmware and everything works perfect now.
