"But it's a little bit brusk to say that Linux is just superior because it has centralized application management"

I know. I tend to exaggerate a little from time to time (and that not everyone likes it), but I always try to make it engaging or, at least, entertaining. When I saw two different important software vendors embracing the idea of software package repositories, it came to me the idea is taking hold. My iPod self-updates apps installed in it. It is not as sophisticated as APT or YUM, but it's an idea whose time has come.
