Alternative to Cnet upgrading

Personally, I try to avoid 3rd party sites for most upgrades.

For Windows and Office, use the update options at both www.microsoft.com/windows
and www.microsoft.com/office

For drivers, you can sign up for e-mail notification at many device mfg web sites.

For other applications, you can usually sign up for e-mail notices there also.

As a general rule, you only need to worry about security upgrades.
Driver and many other upgrades should normally be reserved for correcting specific problems. Including problems with new hardware.

Here are 2 sites that I have bookmarked from previous research.

http://www.versiontracker.com/windows/

It looks like all they do is track software updates and revisions.

This is geared towards network admins.
