Their free scanner will alert you to current versions of many of your installed programs too. If you use filehippo, you can get this and many others from their download pages.

Had similar problems with blogger/google a while back. Perhaps CNN could do something similar for Chinese readers? The other problem I had a couple of years ago was finding English Windows to reinstall on my machine after a system failure.. found a dubious copy but it had more virii than a Shi Quan Jie girly bar. As far as vista goes, I haven't tried it. I drank the linux kool-aid and installed Ubuntu.. runs like a dream on my old pre-China machine, runs TOR perfectly and every app I could possibly want. free.

Unfortunately, this thing was pretty slow just after I bought it three years ago. I think Dell just added too much crap to it. Doesn't help that I've added a lot of my own crap to slow it down some.
