Apple took some criticism last month for flicking the iPhone Configuration Utility to Windows users who have the Apple Updater Software installed. The software was completely useless for computer users and to those who don't even own iPhones. In the way, this underscores a basic defect that Windows allows third-party software updates to run indiscriminately on people's computers. Universal Updater application is the solution which provides a control on how software developers push windows 7 updates to users.
There is no cause that we need to have particular updater applications for Windows, Java, Apple, Adobe, McAfee and others. All we really need is one application that can manage updates to all the softwares. Also it could allow users to configure what types of updates are permitted, how applications get updated, how notifications appear and when the updates are allowed to occur.
The universal updater used by software developers, would need to agree to a policy governing how the application is to be used. If the user doesn't wants a update or hasn't requested it then they need to be prevented from these secretly deploying application. It means that there should not be unwanted demos of other applications or browser toolbars. The software developers who violate this policy would have their updates blocked.
Although CCleaner is a great utility which, amongst other windows 7 features, provides a single location for deleting all startup items but, It is tedious to remove updaters from various startup locations and it also defeats the utility of having up to date applications. A universal updater application would solve this problem, will allow some control to the user and also keep all the applications up to date.
Although, there might be a few barriers to implement a Universal Updater. It is also not easy to get software developers to agree to use it, but doing so would provide a relief to computer users and would make Windows 7 a cleaner platform.
