Version: CNET TechTracker app 1.0
Pros: I admit I love downloading and trying out new software. Then when I finally find an app that gets along with me and my operating system, I stick to it. I love not having to check for updates and always having the newest version.
Cons: None, whatsoever. Batting a 1000 so far.
Summary: Tech tracker is great. It does it all without any help, and then gives you the links to upgrade, as someone said.
