How to see the installed updates/fixes on a computer

Before writing this post i was aware of a single method:
systeminfo find "KB"
To do it on a remote computer, i used the combination of psexec and the upper command or
systeminfo /s %computername% find "KB"
But the output of the command is not so easily readable. Recently, i found this great article which revealed me a second method, exporting the results in html format:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/qfe.htm
So, here is the command:
wmic qfe list full /format:htable > C:\hotfixes.html
To do it on a remote computer:
wmic /node:”computername” qfe list full /format:htable > C:\hotfixes.html
