SUMMARY
=======

MSN Companion was designed to be upgraded remotely, so the customer wouldn't be
responsible for buying new hardware or software.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The unit will call the server each night. If an upgrade is available, it will
download the upgrade automatically. If the upgrade fails, a secondary operating
system will take over and try to repeat the installation until the installation
is successful.

Note: This upgrade will be invisible to the customer.
