Well, aRTee, may well be, but the media are applauding WindozeXP for introducing such a useful improvement... but never realize they were years behind in this regard...
I hear no such things about Linux. Well, truth told, a few things more than they used to, in the past year.
My point is: what's so special about the new way WindozeUpdate works? Guess it is just part of Linux being in the underdog position...
