Ok, a very stupid question:
--Bill already has the keys to your computer, and Bill knows your computer needs a firmware update, and since he lists all the device company names and links to the updates, he knows where the updates are--
So then: why doesn't Bill just update your firmware himself?
From a security standpoint, this whole thing sounds like an invitation to hackers--how hard would it be for a hacker to imitate a 'you need an upgrade' message complete with bogus links allowing you to upgrade their trojan software?
