Smart Client Development with Automatic Updates

One of the critical success criteria for larger enterprise systems is the cost of keeping all the workstations up to date with upgrades and patches.  Smart Client applications were designed to automatically update themselves.  Each time the application starts; it checks a central location, under your control, to see if an update is required.  No more logging onto each user's machine to update their application.  Support costs and effort are also greatly reduced when all users are using the correct version of their software.  Smart Clients by name, brilliant by nature!
