It's easy to have this function in Windows or MacOSX because they're basically the only ones providing updates for the OS (some Linux dists fall into this category too). Most people's AmigaOS setup today consists of software from so many third party developers it isn't even funny.

Maybe something centralized could be added to OS4 since this is a joint effort anyway - but it should be optional! IMHO it's okay with online updates if you start the program yourself and decide what to update. The updates also need a better description than the ones on for example Windows Update.

@billsey
I've had a lot of trouble with Aminet lately. Not being able to reach any mirror at all sometimes, no new files seems to get added etc. Perhaps it's about to go under. That would be devastating for the Amiga scene :-(
