Hi All, +1 on not reaching out over the network or doing anything without user input.
I'm also nervous about the software update icon in the control panel going out over the network and doing something immediately after you click and before you do anything else with the Update interface. Is there any precedent or guidelines on what happens first after you choose a Sugar Control Panel option? Has anyone tested the SW updater control panel over low-BW or offline? I'd rather see it land on a nice GUI that explains what will happen and gives you the option to click and check for the latest activities.
