QUESTION :
Just wondering if anyone knows of a page / xml feed or something which I can monitor so I can quickly see if any new updates have been released for Windows/OSX.
So instead of running Windows/Software update, I can just check this page (automate it) and tell instantly if anything new has come out.
Ideally this shouldn’t be a file on the computer, but something online.
ANSWER :
Windows
