This really is a double standard. Suppose Windows used a system similar to ports. Could you imagine the outcry if microsoft was able to upgrade the libs of all your various software on your box? Talk about crazy, this would drive me nuts! Everybody would hate microsoft's guts for it
But with *nix its ok to do it?
