IBM updates

After having several calls that were resolved/improved by upgrading firmware on the IBM servers, I've discovered that they have an IBM IBM Message Center that sends you critical information on fixes, alerts, hints, tips and upgrades etc. The software only works on w2k or xp and sits in your taskbar. Now this seems to be an ideal application for an RSS feed and then you could read it from any computer.

Compaq used to have this on the ProLiant's (pre HP) and it used to be on the wire all the time

Logitech use the same software for their Logitech Messenger which is equally traffic hungry.

I believe it uses a technology called backweb
