I wanted to look at the software to see exactly what it does, what it provides to make a decision if it might be useful. But after researching a bit more it looks as if it's a windows only piece of software. My first thought was this would be a linux version of iSM. Apparently not.
That brings up another question. Why would dsu running on linux offer to install/upgrade a windows only package? Seems to me dsu shouldn't even check for it's existence or available updates.
