Larry, Given the way you phrased your message, I suspect you only want responses from people who do not have administrator privileges. That would save the list and you from a lot of responses telling you that this would make no difference to them. Yes? No? Just trying to cut down on traffic here.

This question only applies to Windows XP. We are thinking of requiring administrative privledges to perform firmware updates, and we would like to get an idea of how this would effect the general user.
