hmm ... better would be what misses in both, and or what can be improved in both.

But of course, many "commercial" apps already big on other environments, and that Linux would be needing to get a strong foot inside the workstation/desktop arena, arent going be be distributed in source code :(

So, imho, what Linux need is a crossplatform installer capable of dealing with RPM and deb, and also capable of installing from source code... if only InstallJammer could implement that source code feature!... it would be perfect.
