I emailled tech support at Microchip in the UK to see if they'd provide me one with the latest firmware and they sent me one through free of charge. I cant compliment them more on their customer service for doing that for me - inspires me to stay with using their products rather than looking at Atmel and Intel. Just my personal experience with them though.
