It's pretty slow at checking for new versions, though. I get the impression that's because of the way they seem to scan your disk (it seems to be a brute force "scan every directory on the disk looking for .exe files"). Also, it's fairly common for it to flag your version as out of date and then be unable to automatically update it (although it provides you a handy link to either fetch the setup your self).
That said, it's handy to have a centralised point to check for updates.
