[OT] Why no third party software?
Authored by: hamarkus on Jan 05, '06 11:38:52AM

Maybe to reduce complexity and clutter?
With about 100 pieces of third party software on my computer it becomes almost a full time job to keep track of all updates to them.

I had the same problem until I discovered VersionTracker Pro. It does a great job of scanning my system and alerting me to any new updates of my software, which saves me a lot of time because I don't have to constantly check for updated packages or worry that I might have out-of-date software. It's $40/year but worth every penny IMO.

Widget to do the work for free

I've found that the Dashboard Widget "App Update" seems to do a similar job for free.
