Sony flash tool announcement...

I am posting this as a wiki to create a place to answer and possibly debunk the threaded rumors. I want to confront the speculation and work from what is known. I know a lot comments are out of context and overtly speculative, at best.

Generally asking those in the community developing this. Seems from the talk.maemo.org area that this has not been brought up as an issue.

The posting Sailfish X: new flashing tool and new sales start day mentions "a new way" to flash via Windows. Is this in addition to the methods outline on how to build Sailfish X and flash via linux? If you have other questions please add them in the comments or add them to this post.

Update link and discussion There are two mentions of this in different forms. One is from the TMO

The other is an answer to another question on TJC

In both explanations the Linux method that many of us are already familiar with, will remain supported, but unofficially since there is a relationship with the Sony developers which use Emma to distribute some of the blobs. I recommend people to read both to get a clear understanding.

Thank you @jakibaki and @olf
