The problem with most corporate websites is that the news is in the form of a press release and isn't always accessible to the end user. If you want to see if a product has been updated, you have to wade through the info to find the latest details. However, there is an easier way. People will write and update a blog and it's easier to keep an eye out on the blog than it is on the website. Take a look at the latest Microsoft Vista blog, which was the first location most people realised that the Service Pack 1 was publicly available.

YeahReader 2.6 is a free RSS and news reader that will enable you to subscribe to various blogs and use the reader rather than your web browser to read the latest information. If you like to subscribe to a number of blogs, it might be better to use a dedicated RSS/news reader than your email client or web browser.
