[wpkg-users] Windows 7 - Compatible?

[Brent A Nelson]

Once you have those features, will you be adding support where a 
non-privileged user could potentially launch a wpkg upgrade while logged 
in? Perhaps much like Windows/Microsoft updates, where it could check to 
see if there are any changes every so often, and then let the user know 
what changes would be applied and give them the option to proceed? That 
would be very cool.

As things stand now, we've been reluctant to upgrade large packages (say, 
Office 2007->2010), as this would be applied when they turn on their 
computers, and they might have to wait an hour before they can use their 
machines.  But if the user got a notice that the update was ready, they 
could choose to apply it or be aware that it will install on the next 
reboot.

Thanks,

Brent
