Version: VersionTracker Pro 4.1
"Probably the highest rating.."
Pros: Now I can say that VesionTracker has changed their definition of the word "trial", now, I have the ability to update one driver or program which is a nice thing.
Cons: Something is missing, I mean It is still not perfect yet. Looking for the next version.

"You can get your updates for FREE!!!!"
Pros: Try windows update.
Cons: Save some cash to get something worthwhile. Cnet kill this program once and for all. It's a rip-off.

Version: VersionTracker Pro 4.1
Pros: It does what it says. There is some novelty in having it all in one place.
Cons: Not sure how useful this is. Windows has a lot of the drive update functionality built into Windows update. Where Microsoft apps involved those are handled by Windows Update as well. There is no shortage of third party apps with built in update functionality. Too much over lap to warrant %30 in my opinion.

Version: VersionTracker Pro 4.1
Cons: Just a tedious time waster, by making you pay before you use it. Bad thing is that you don't even get to see which software may be outdated. Just a whole list of red and greens. Trust, you wouldn't want to use it. Who knows? Maybe false positives are included too.
I also see this software as kind of biased. I say this because it said "improved configuration" for Dell PCs.
Some software it is. -.-

Version: VersionTracker Pro 4.1
Pros: it tells you what's out of date with your hardware and software after scanning. But if looks to me like you have to buy it if you want anything other than a list of outdated programs.
