    Why can't you use your psychic powers to determine what FP/SP =
somebody
    using a laptop on a client site in another country has installed via
    windows update?

    & then you've got a load on desktops to look after, each one only a
    couple of clicks away from "windows update". Now you've got to use =
your
    psychic powers to determine which users have applied a fixpack via
    Windows update (or even updated just OE/IE or possibly installed =
newer
    drivers).

    Given you obviously possess these powers, just out of interest can =
you
    move objects with just the power of your mind as well?
