Re: how about making upgrades easier
by Ingo Klöcker on Thursday 12/Apr/2001, @08:11

>If you examine the Windows release schedules, you'll see that although major functionality is brought in on every major release, it doesn't stop major application upgrades in the mean time. And these certainly do not require a complete low-level upgrade.

Every new version of M$Office or M$IE installs a lot of new libraries. And you have to reboot several times. If this isn't a low-level upgrade why has Windows to be rebooted?

OTOH if you upgrade KDE you don't have to upgrade the kernel or X. Only some libraries and the KDE packages. So upgrading KDE is certainly not low-level. You don't even have to reboot after upgrading. ;-)

Ingo
