I hope this doesn't lead to one instance of the application for every program that needs updating. What would be more useful is a way for third-party applications to work with the existing Google Update. That way, you could update all your applications from a single interface. This would be a better experience than being asked to update an application it starts (and you're probably in a hurry to start using it). Of course, you'd need to figure out some standard way of locating available updates. Is there anyone out there doing this sort of thing?
