Faves for this Web page
"In the last couple of years nearly every program comes with its own updating software. Don’t believe me? Try Apple Software Update, Adobe Updater, Google Updater, Mcafee AutoUpdate, and the list goes on. All of these pieces of software have their individualized settings and behaviors with no unified interface which leads to confusion and missed updates–some of which are critical for security."
Indeed I'm sick of all these update checking apps running in the background, cluttering my systray, and annoying me out of context about an update. Building it into Windows Installer would be good I think, which most things are using now.
