Pros
I found the program super simple and effective to use.
Cons
The Windows Update ran comparatively slow compared to the program update.
Summary
Try it! We loved it. Now we are going to check on the vendor's commercial update program.

Pros
No install. Works well. Supports the usual suspects of software found on most PCs. Ad-free freeware. Install on a network share and run on any computer on a LAN.
Cons
In a muti-user environment, the same updates will have to be downloaded again and again - no getting around that without a caching proxy. The list of 'other' software is a bit arbitrary.
Summary
Wile it can't support every program ever written, it does deal with the most common ones. Quiet, fast and effective: highly recommended. (While the authors should not have written reviews or replied to the more deranged comments here, that doesn't detract from the excellent functionality of the program.)

Pros
Fast automatic patching.
Cons
Reports wrong version(v.10) of Firefox when you already have correct version (v.12)
Summary
Manual intervention needed to correct wrong reporting.
Otherwise an excellent automatic software patcher.

Pros
This program is a very good idea for updating many software utilities and windows updates within one utility program. PatchMyPC catches a lot of program updates overlooked by another good program, FreeApps. The initial start-up and search engine of PatchMyPC is good, for the interface shows what programs need updating, and what the newest version is of each specific program.
Cons
1. The main user interface is lacking adequate status information about what step PatchMyPC is at or currently performing.
2. There is often no information listed in the status area about which program is currently being reviewed or updated.
3. Checking or unchecking boxes in the options section sometimes results in unhandled errors, causing PatchMyPC to go into a crashed or semi-crashed state.
Summary
I think this is a good program for those folks who are technically savy, for you may have to fix some errors caused by this program or program updates that don't work.
My over all recommendation is to wait about 3 to 6 months from the date of this post before trying PatchMyPC on your computer. Once the bugs are resolved, this will be a great utility program anyone could use who is running a Windows based computer to help keep their software up to date.

Also, please note that 3 of the reviews were written by PatchMyPC. The developers of this software may be trying artificially boost the review results. If this is actually the case, I would stay completely away from this product because the developer has no integrity.
