Apple to Revamp Software Update?

Friday December 5, 2003 8:17 am PST by Arnold Kim
ThinkSecret revives rumors that Apple will open up software update to certain developers to allow 3rd party software updates to be delivered through Apple's Mac OS X Software Update Control Panel.



This feature was first rumored in Jan 2003, but has not made its way into Mac OS X yet.

This would be a welcome upgrade to an otherwise perfect program...

I've been wanting this for a while now. I like running the latest stuff, but don't like constantly checking.

This would be a nice feature on the pro end. I hate having to go to adobe's site and be checking if they fixed the latest Illustrator or Photoshop bug.

great idea. This further separates pc complexity and mac simplicity.
