oh. Yes that would be an issue ;) I had the same feeling from just
looking at my cow-orkers' "win"dows computers, with updates failing and
breaking everything, leaving you worse off than before.

I guess it would be different if the whole windows system was set up
with packages, with version controls and "this-package-depends-on"
stuff. And real super-user privileges that normal lusers could not take
on...
