Windows actually tracks files, registry keys, extension<->program associations and a bunch of other things individually. Of course Windows doesn't control (almost) all packages like Fedora does, and many vendors misuse that. And the binary compatibility of DLLs is much harder than with Linux sonames. Still, updates coming from Microsoft are in general pretty solid. Paolo -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
