It's a very good solution.
I always use it for installing/updating the drivers and it works like a charm.

1.) Download IBM Update Connector.
2.) Install (follow directions).
3.) Run (follow directions).

Just download the updates, and run the exe files. They will be extracted to c:\drivers. Then just run the software installer and it will do the rest.

Thanks, I was wondering what the procedure was!
Where is this documented? I never received a "user guide" with my machine and haven't been able to find a PDF that explains all this stuff on IBM's website.

Any pointers to where a new thinkpad owner can find information like this?
