A microsoft-year is like forever. ;-) Seriously, you do have a point here. Although terminal server has been available on nt4 too, since '96(?). Anyway, I think we're quite OT now, so as to not upset the others, we may just drop this thread now, I think. So, in conclusion, there is no way to remote-update a pc's bios w/o some proprietary auxillary card. And in addition, this solution may prove quite expensive.
