I think it only includes programs with a known security vulnerability. If you want to know all programs which are out of date (and may or may not have a known vulnerability), then use SUMo (the best) or FileHippo Update Checker (works only with freewares). Use Secunia if you only want to be notified if a software has known security issue.
