Do you miss seeing your Lenovo drivers ordered by release date?

IBM used to have a page where you could view all the drivers for your
system ordered by their release date. Since the IBM/Lenovo "System
Update" app has always been pretty unreliable, seeing the driver
releases ordered by date was always (for me, anyway) the best way to
make sure my system was up to date.

Lenovo, in all their wisdom, got rid of the ability to order drivers by
release dates. But, thankfully, there's a workaround!

Here's what you do. Go to the Lenovo support site and enter your system
type here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page .
Then, click on the "Subscribe to driver updates" link in the upper-right
corner. That will take you to an RSS page. Don't subscribe to it if
you don't want to! But from here, you'll be able to see all the driver
releases ordered by date. Voilá!
