kinda off topic, but anyway
Installshield for Microsoft Windows and the epic repo's of Linux, why so different?
Okay, so say you are at work and someone asks you to do something trivial on a linux OS, the first thing that pops into your head is 'Synaptic Package Manager' , or if you like sudo apt-get whatever you need and PaPoOOW! > the download installs(install might not even be the correct phrase?).
My point is, IE, windows and installshield have a problem, it's like neither of them want to talk to one and other and both of them are just plain ignorant to all those certificates and hand shakes flying around. Why on earth don't suppliers of interweb applications support live streaming of the packake(install.exe) to the clients installshield for instant installation? Why do we need to clutter our PC's with the bulk of the software, and why should we need to MD5 sum just about everything when if bulk were not sent in the first place they can't be tampered with resulting in everyone running about with these sums???
