It is probably even more consistent over years - compared to the move from Windows XP to Vista to Windows 7 to Windows 8.
What move from XP? Last time I checked some of my clients still used it because it apparently worked better for them than newer versions.
Well, that happens under Windows as well, and it is actually needs more effort to have computers that look the same.
Is there a Windows equivalent to dpkg or rpm yet? If not then it's going to be difficult to try and get disparate systems in sync.
There is Windows InstallShield, but it is typical Microsoft incompetence, and all too often much software does its own thing and steps around it. It would be worse than Slackware using tarballs. Regards, Mark Trickett
