TechTracker will be officially replacing VersionTrackerPro, the product Cnet acquired in its 2007 acquisition of VersionTracker, iPhone Atlas, and MacFixIt. The key differences are:
1.) It is freeware; no purchase/subscription necessary.
2.) It is primarily web-based, with the results displayed in your browser.
3.) It is linked to your Cnet account, which is also free.
4.) It does not detect driver updates, which are generally not necessary anyway.
5.) It will be actively developed/supported to provide its users with a fresh experience. (VersionTrackerPro has been largely stagnant for 2 years.)
Hope this helps,
John
Does anyone know how the two programs are different? I bought Version Tracker Pro. It worked until I updated its software. Now it doesn't work and locks up my system (Vista/Intel quad core/2gB RAM) so I uninstalled it. Tech Tracker sounds like the same thing but does it work better?
