The potential for such a product is unlimited, but the current release exhibits only a small fraction of the possibilities. One current limitation of Oil Change is that it only identifies new versions of applications already installed on your machine. For example, unless a previous release is already installed on your computer, you won't be able to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or similar program.
Oil Change could also do a better job of letting you know exactly what improvements the new updates are making to your existing applications. Another limitation is that Oil Change only identifies a tiny percentage of the thousands of software applications available both on and off the 'net. You won't find the latest updates to popular programs like Agent, Eudora, CuteFTP, mIRC, WordPerfect, LapLink, and a multitude of other clients.
