As an network admin, over the last few weeks updates for third party applications have really started to p*** me off. Now, I have SMS on my network, so the actual installs are fine, whats getting under my skin is how every app these days has its own auto-updater. Adobe has one, Sun has one... and they all run as the logged on user. My clients all run as non-admins, so these auto updates are totally pointless, since they don't have the rights to install the patches. This means they have several totally useless tray icons, they take up resources and bandwidth. For a single personal computer, these updaters are ok, since you are probably running as an administrator. However, I have several personal machines (as I bet many of the members of this forum do as well) and end up having to install the same updates on each one individually, wasting both my bandwidth and time. A lot of the software on this form is targeted at simplifying computer deployment and installs, not so much for on-going management. What I propose is a public version of Microsoft Updates, but for any application. The 'community' maintains the list of programs, and their patches. Eventually, I would like to build in support for one machine to automatically mirror decisions made on a master machine (for home use) and an equivalent to WSUS for a cooperate network. This would of course all be done in a free and secure manner. I am a skilled programmer, and am willing to do a large part of the work (if not all of it), but I want to know if there is a demand for this type of product or if I am just nuts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
