>Let's look at one aspect of the problem with the current model: If Firefox 4 releases tomorrow and I am using Windows or Mac OS X, I can install it immediately and in Linux, one usually has to upgrade their entire distribution.
Which model are you referring to? I'm using gentoo and this works fine. The nice thing about distributions is that there are different models.

It thought it was obvious that I was referring to the mainstream distributions that are part of the discussion in the article. The problem with the different models is that it very much a pick your poison kind of thing. Gentoo isn't something one would recommend even if the users like having the latest applications.
