There is a totally pother angle to this "support" issue... Software support
/ Warranty.

What happens when the new version of commonly available commercial SW ( Say
PS) does not work with your required-to-use Leica ( or Nikon/Canon/other)
SW?  Who fixes it?

What happens when MS and Apple decide to change the OS, and your SW will not
even run on the new OS?  Who fixes it?

These are real problems, and are oft overlooked......and especially not
mentioned by the camera makers......
